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’.
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.
All of the sauces from The Dirty Buffalo are amazing! Also try their Margarita Buffalo wing sauce on some homemade wings!
