We love buffalo sauce. Especially an extra spicy version leaving you with an on the fence, should I really of asked for this and will I ‘pay for it later’ kind of heat.

However, once in a while, we crave something different. A taste with a little more depth, an original flavor without sacrificing heat, yet savory and sweet. Chicken wing lovers, look no further. Give this sauce a try and like us, we feel confident it will become one of your new favorites.

Warning: If you or your guests find Sriracha sauce too hot, then this may not be the sauce for you. Instead, try our Honey Buffalo Recipe here for a similar flavor yet lower on the heat scale.

Notes

This is a winner. Ideal for folks who like a healthy amount of spice but enjoy tangy and sweet. However, if your audience finds sriracha on the hot side, dial back the amount to 1/8 cup and add more honey.  

Disclaimer: Do not leave the Lime Juice out! Without the lime juice, it just doesn’t taste the same. Too sweet.
