The Dirty Buffalo Sweet Heat Mesquite Wing Sauce Wings

I want to go to The Dirty Buffalo. It’s (more than) a wing joint in a few locations around Norfolk and, Virginia Beach in Virginia. Until I can get there I did the next best thing: I ordered a ton of their wing sauces online. I waited like a kid by the door until they arrived. And when they did, it truly was like Christmas. One of my first things to make were The Dirty Buffalo Sweet Heat Mesquite wing sauce wings. This is one of several of their award-winning sauces, so it seemed like a great place to start. And it was.

The Name Is Truth

Just like the name says, this sauce is a little sweet. But only lightly so. These aren’t dessert wings. Heat? Yes. But again, only slightly so. Well maybe a bit more than slightly if you’re heat-averse. But still, not crazy hot by any stretch. All with a gently smokiness in a sauce that is just the right consistency to stick to your wings without being gloppy. We don’t like gloppy and there’s no gloppy here!

The Dirty Buffalo Sweet Heat Mesquite Wings

Just Make Some Wings!

I used my standard air fryer recipe when I made these The Dirty Buffalo Sweet Heat Mesquite wing sauce wings. You can use whatever approach you want. I happened to go with my air fryer because that’s what I felt like today. Tomorrow, I’ll likely get out my deep-fryer! The key here is to not do anything that will hide the delicious flavors from the sauce. So don’t over-season your wings. Go light with it. Let the sauce shine. It’s really great stuff. Don’t fight it.

The Dirty Buffalo Strawbenero BBQ Wing Sauce Wings

Wow. I am not really a fan of starting a post with ‘wow’. But I have no choice when it comes to The Dirty Buffalo Strawbenero BBQ wing sauce wings. That first taste was a big ‘wow’ moment. I’ve used fruit-flavored sauces on my wings before. Blueberry. Blackberry. Even watermelon. But I had never had one that was infused with strawberry flavors. And most of the fruit sauces were sweeter, with no heat. Although this sauce is slightly sweet, it brings a little heat too. And the first amount of strawberry flavor. The idea of strawberry-flavored wings may sound odd to you at first, but believe me, they’re nothing but a big ‘wow’.

The Dirty Buffalo Strawbenero BBQ Wings

Deliciously Fruity

I fried up a batch of wings my usual way. Light on the flour, light on the seasoning. Fried to crispy perfection. Then I tossed them (gently) in The Dirty Buffalo Strawbenero BBQ wing sauce. The sauce has the aroma of fresh strawberries. It’s rather pleasant. That first taste brings strawberry first. A little sweetness. And just a little kick from habanero. The heat offsets the sweetness perfectly. This sauce would be perfect on anything that requires a BBQ sauce. Ribs for sure. Pulled pork? Absolutely. Brisket? Perfect.

When you order some sauce from The Dirty Buffalo, get extra. This one is unique, tasty and a real joy on wings.

The Dirty Buffalo Sweet Sriracha Wing Sauce Wings

Ask me what wings I had a year ago today and I’d say “good ones” but I can’t remember what wings they were. Wet? Dry? Dunno. I’m sure they were good. Ask me a year from today which wings I had today and I’ll say “The Dirty Buffalo Sweet Sriracha wing sauce wings”!! That’s because there’s no way I’ll forget these wings. The sauce is nicely sweet. There’s a gentle kiss of heat. It’s like sweet chili sauce but with a Sriracha twist. I can see why this sauce is an award winner. It certainly won me over.

The Dirty Buffalo Garlic Lemon Pepper Wing Sauce Wings

I’m not really sure what happened. I had made a batch of wings for my lunch like I so often do. I sauced them. And I swear I blinked and they were gone. Just bones left. I checked under the table and nothing. That’s what happens when you make these The Dirty Buffalo Garlic Lemon Pepper wing sauce wings at home. I’m pretty sure it happens at the restaurants too. They’re probably used to it by now. Man, is this ever a great sauce. And a bit different too.

The Dirty Buffalo Garlic Lemon Pepper Wings

Seek Out Something New

This is not a Buffalo wing sauce. These are not Buffalo wings. These The Dirty Buffalo Garlic Lemon Pepper wing sauce wings are kissed lightly with garlic. And lemon. Ditto, just the right amount. And pepper. Plenty of it but not too much. You might think you’re putting salad dressing on your wings. Don’t let your brain get in the way of having fantastic wings. Grab a bottle of this sauce and go back some wings! This is great stuff and like mine, your wings will disappear like that!

The Dirty Buffalo Teriyaki Glaze Wing Sauce Wings

I’m wrapping up my journey through the wing sauces I ordered from The Dirty Buffalo, a regional wing and more joint in south eastern Virginia. Oh, trust me, I’ll be ordering more of their sauces. And seasonings. For now, I’m glad I ended up on what I think is the highest note: The Dirty Buffalo Teriyaki Glaze wing sauce wings. This wing sauce was my favorite. And it was hard to say that, because so many of them have been amazing. But this one really struck a chord with me. The perfect ‘umami’ flavor. Salty, sweet and lightly funky. I could not get enough of this sauce.

The Dirty Buffalo Mild Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

I was more than looking forward to some The Dirty Buffalo mild Buffalo wing sauce wings. I ordered a big mix of sauces from the Virginia-based more-than-a-wing-joint. The first that I tried, the hot Buffalo version, was a huge win. Great flavor and heat. And I didn’t sit around counting the days until I made some wings using the mild Buffalo sauce. I counted the seconds.

There’s no real heat here, so it’s all about flavor. Like it should be. Your it’s-too-spicy friends will thank you for these wings again and again so invite them over for a batch!

The Dirty Buffalo Extra Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

Nowhere on the bottle did it read ‘extra creamy’. And nowhere did it read ‘extra smooth’. But it did read ‘extra hot’. And ‘extra hot’ is no lie, either. If they had room they could’ve added ‘extra tasty’. But they didn’t have room. The Dirty Buffalo knows wing sauces and these extra hot Buffalo wing sauce wings are proof. They definitely pack some heat. Not crazy heat but you’re gonna feel it for sure. And flavor, too. It’s not just about fire here.

The Dirty Buffalo Extra Hot Buffalo Wings

Delicious Pain

I fried up a batch of wings my usual way. Light on the flour, light on the seasoning. Fried to crispy perfection. Then I tossed them (gently) in The Dirty Buffalo Extra hot Buffalo wing sauce. I went light on the sauce the first time. I knew I was in for some heat. And I was kinda scared. So I went easy. What I got was delicious pain. Great pain. And flavor so good I wish I’d used more sauce.

So the next batch of wings I did. And those hurt too. But they sure were mighty good. Sure, I had extra Ranch nearby. Ya know, just in case.

The Dirty Buffalo Margarita Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

The fine folks over at The Dirty Buffalo come up with some mighty great wing sauces. I ordered a ton of them to enjoy at home. Unfortunately, I’m a bit far from Virginia Beach and thereabouts so I can’t just swing by one of their restaurants and grab some grub there. Sadly, this is the last bottle of sauce I had on hand. But, oh did I ever save a great one to go out on. The Dirty Buffalo Margarita Buffalo wing sauce wings are different in a very good way. Kinda taco-sauce like but not like if you went to Taco Bell, grabbed a bunch of sauce packs and drizzled them over your wings. Much better than that. There’s a good hint of lime. And just a kiss of cilantro. Like taco sauce elevated. All that with a good healthy dose of spiciness.

The Dirty Buffalo Margarita Buffalo Wings

Don’t Hide The Sauce

You can make your wings however you prefer for The Dirty Buffalo Margarita Buffalo wing sauce wings. I decided to air fry mine. No matter which way you go, I suggest you don’t over-season your wings. Go light. Maybe just salt and pepper. At most. You don’t want something that’ll fight this wing sauce. You want to get the true flavor that was intended by the creators. It’s true, I kept some Ranch dressing on hand but honestly, I didn’t need it. I should’ve kept it in the fridge. These wings don’t need it. The flavor and heat are spot on great. So go to The Dirty Buffalo’s site and order up some of their sauces (and seasonings). This sauce, and all the rest, do not disappoint. In fact, they amaze!

I like to kick back after a long day of work and just relax and enjoy. Same with my wings. I like to kick back and relax and enjoy every bite. They don’t have to be crazy spicy.

It has just a nice little kick to it. And it’s not lacking in classic flavor. Not at all.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation to 350 F.
  • Lightly salt the wings on all sides.
  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it's hot!).
  • Cook wings for 12 minutes.

  • Remove wings from the bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

Note: If your wing sauce is refrigerated, set it out on the countertop before starting the wings so that it warms up a bit. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings.
Note: The full 30 minute cook time is for large, meaty wings. If your wings are a bit thinner (er… scrawny) back the times down to 10/10/4 minutes instead of 12/12/6 minutes.

The Dirty Buffalo Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

It pays to branch out when looking for new wing sauces. Make your own. Buy the national brands. Try a few local ones too. And absolutely, positively make sure you seek out great wing joints that also sell their sauces. The best sauces often come from smaller market restaurants and bars. They pay attention to taste and quality. They have to. There’s a lot of competition out there. You gotta make good stuff to stand out and succeed. And that’s how I came to find The Dirty Buffalo, a more-than-just-a-wing-joint around Norfolk, Chesapeake and Virginia Beach in Virginia. So I ordered a huge bunch of their sauces. Darned near everything they make. And oh, was I excited when they arrived and I made my first batch of wings: The Dirty Buffalo Hot Buffalo wing sauce wings. This (and the rest I got from them) is one fantastically great sauce. THIS is why you seek these places out.

Deep-Fried For Wing Perfection

I started out with my favorite deep-fried wings. You can make any wings you like. Just don’t go seasoning them so heavy that you’re going to bury the flavor and heat from these The Dirty Buffalo hot Buffalo wing sauce wings. The sauce is the winner here. A big winner.

Great Heat. Great Flavor.

The balance between heat and flavor is perfect in this sauce. This is easily one of the best kicked-up Buffalo wing sauces I’ve had. Traditional flavor, perfect consistency and the right amount of heat. I loved it. I’m glad I picked it first from my big box of bottled sauces. This is one great start on my journey through the sauces from The Dirty Buffalo.

Remember that if you are using a refrigerated sauce on your hot wings, make sure you let the sauce come to room temperature before using it. Nothing is sadder than a cold sauce on a hot wing.
