orange chicken. Buffalo Wild Wings Archives

My wife and I slipped off to lunch at one of our nearby Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants the other day. I say slipped because well, I might have taken longer than my allotted lunch break time. Oh well! If I get fired it’ll be worth it because our service and wings were delicious! And while we were there I decided to see what new sauces and seasonings there were, and of course, grab a few bottles to take home with me. The first one I had to try was the Buffalo Wild Wings Orange Chicken wing sauce. We both loved this sauce. It’s not overly orange-forward. It’s there, you get the orange flavor and aroma, but it’s not overwhelming. I’d call it a mild orange flavor. Ditto the heat. There, but not overpowering. The sauce is a bit sweet, but again, not too sweet. It’s a nice pleasant sauce that we both found to be quite enjoyable.

A Kiss of Orange

Buffalo Wild Wings Orange Chicken wing sauce is exactly what I expect from BW3s. A great sauce and at a great price. We enjoyed our lunch in the restaurant too. If there’s one near you I encourage you to join their rewards program and pick up some sauces and seasonings the next time you’re there.

Buffalo Wild Wings Sauce (Orange Chicken)

Brrrrrrrrrr!

Put any leftover sauce in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until the next time you make wings. When it’s time to sauce your wings don’t just pour that cold sauce over them. You’ve spent all that times getting your wings perfect. Crispy skin. Perfect coating. Hot. No matter how you cooked them, you devoted time to making sure they are spot-on delicious. Do not ruin them by adding a cold sauce. First, obviously, it’ll make them cold. In an instant. And secondly, and just as important, cold sauce will make that crunchy skin un-crunchy even quicker than a hot sauce.

So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.
