Restaurant at Home – Buffalo Wild Wings Sauce Recipes

buffalo wild wings sauce recipes

We love going out to eat, but we don’t always love spending the money that it costs. With that in mind we decided to scour the internet to find recipes that were “supposedly” the recipes used by the restaurants, or something similar. Every week we’re going to post a different recipe from a different restaurant, so we hope you enjoy them and let us know the results if you try them!

This week we’re focused on Buffalo Wild Wings 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 kick 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, leaving 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 or 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.

    I have made these before. They are good. But the ones you can buy from BWW are *not* $3. They are more like $7 and maybe even $10. So its not as much about the experience as you think it is.

      Good to know… I’ve never actually bought them from the restaurant.
