"Garlic + nashville hot rub on traditional wings. Always extra wet"
"Donkey/Hot >>>> Donkey/Garlic. I get both often, but the butter flavor in the Hot makes that mix superior"
"My go to is Nashville Hot, but if I want wet wings I do Mango Habenero"
"BBQ/Carolina Gold mix. Beautiful cheat meal"
"Same! Love the mango habanero."
"Donkey. Shut up this is stupid. Well unless you mean Donkey + Garlic Buffalo. And/or if you mean Donkey + House Italian for salads."

Frank's
4.4
(29)
"I don’t use Frank’s for anything else, but they are perfect for my wings."
"Make your wings with Franks Original. Just before serving, add a few dots of Melinda’s Ghost Pepper sauce spaced across each wing."
"-12 oz bottle of Franks/generic equivalent (I used WinCo brand) -4.4 oz bottle of Trader Joe's habanero -healthy dose of pepper flakes -half stick of butter -a generous pour of Scatterbrain Dark Cherry and Vanilla Whiskey"
"I love spicy, buttery, buffalo wings. I might play around with flavors on some other ones but the majority will get this sauce."
"Franks red hot, a little BBQ sauce, butter, chili powder, onion/garlic powder, cayenne, crushed red pepper."
"Melted butter and Franks Red hot."
"My go to hot: ⅔ cup Franks hot sauce, ½ cup unsalted butter, 1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar, ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder"
"Well, the OG is like 1 tbs butter melted and Franks extra red hot, that's my go to sauce for buffalo."
"I hope they never get rid of this flavor, it’s the perfect hot sauce"
"A classic buffalo sauce (Frank's, butter, garlic powder, dash of Worcestershire), some grated Parmesan and lemon pepper seasoning makes for a great flavor."
