Here are 8 homemade Buffalo Wild Wings sauce recipes you can make at home, from Parmesan Garlic to Asian Zing, plus where to buy the real bottles on Amazon if you’d rather skip the prep. We love Buffalo Wild Wings and it’s plethora of sauces! Unfortunately we could not find a recipe for our favorite BWW sauce, Honey BBQ. We found a couple claiming to be a general honey bbq sauce, but that’s not what we’re looking for. So if anyone has the exact recipe for Buffalo Wild Wings’ Honey BBQ Sauce please let us know.
We are aware that you can just go to your local Buffalo Wild Wings and purchase the sauce for like $3, but what’s the fun in that! Maybe you got in the mood to make homemade BBQ sauce one day and ran out to the store to buy a bunch of spices and ingredients, only to come home and realize that you’re only going to use a pinch of each spice. That leaves you with jars of spices you’ll never use for anything else. This is a great opportunity to use some of those spices! Yes, I was referring to myself and my BBQ sauce adventures. I spent almost $70 on random spices that I used once to make 2 bottles of BBQ sauce. It was not worth it, but now I have a ton of spices sitting around. I really wish I would have known there was an actual spice shop around the corner from our place where I could have purchased small quantities of each spice instead of going to the grocery store and buying full jars of each. Oh well.

Does anyone have the recipe for the Hot BBQ sauce at BW3’s?
Did you find the Hot BBQ recipe? I was disappointed to see they discontinued. I have looked forever and can’t find recipe hack
Does anyone have the Thai curry, wild, or the salted caramel honey bbq?
Where are the steps to prepare them?
mix all the stuff in a bowl, cook up chicken wings, toss chicken wings in the bowl full of sauce, serve.
I would expect the sauce to be a bit more complicated than that. Is there no simmer time on the sauce? Temperature?
Tom… I can’t find ANYWHERE the recipe to the BW3 “Wild” sauce… I can find every other including the Blazin’ but I want the “Wild” not “mild” sauce…. Do you have it?
Hey Ronnie,
Unfortunately the ones listed here are the only ones I’ve got.
