the great wing sauce off!

ok i finally found the bottle i was looking for so now i can do my review of some of teh best buffalo wing sauces.

from left to right we have original anchor bar buffalo wing sauce, defcon 2 medium, buffalo wild wings hot, and hooters hot.first let me give you guys a little history of the buffalo wing and what is is and isnt.buffalo wings were first prepared in Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY in the 1964. chicken wings were typically thrown away but the idea was hatched to deep fry them and coat them in some sauce. The sauce used was franks red hot sauce (cayenne pepper based sauce available at just about any grocery store) mixed with an equal portion of melted butter in order to stick to the wings. as the years went on, the sauce had some more ingredients added but stayed essentially the same. Most restaurants today use the franks red hot and butter mix.official buffalo wings are NEVER breaded (this is a SIN in buffalo, NY) and are always served with bleu cheese (not ranch... this is also a sin) and celery. america culture has evolved the buffalo wing to basically mean any chicken product coated in hot sauce and butter is a "buffalo wing".anyways, on to the sauce review! first is the original anchor bar sauce. This is the sauce that you will find on your wings, should you ever find yourself at anchor bar in Buffalo, NY. This sauce is pretty decent but to me has a slight to much garlic. The "hotter" flavor of this brand toned down the garlic and added some heat. This sauce is not hot at all. they also have a "suicidal" recipe which looks quite wicked but I have yet to try. next we have the Defcon 2 in Medium. This sauce is a consumer created sauce that was created by a buffalo wing fan and has won numerous awards for best wing sauce at a number of hot sauce and foods competitions. This sauce comes in a cool bottle that looks like medicine but the flavor is absolutely awesome! like your average wing sauce but with a real nice tang and bite that leaves you wanting more. i think this is probably my favorite. they have different degrees of heat but its the medium here that has won all the awards. this still will make you sweat a tiny bit after a few wings covered in it.next is buffalo wild wings hot sauce. This is my favorite flavor from their line of 12 different sauces and what i feel is their most traditional tasting sauce. this stuff is pretty hot for the average wing fan and should definitely be consumed with something to drink. it sneaks up on you. this is probably my second favorite.last is the hooters hot wing sauce. this stuff is pretty good and similar to the defcon 2 sauce except it is an official store bought product so it has been consumerized and left not as flavorful as something that hasnt sat on store shelves for a long time. There is a slight bit of heat here but nothing to sweat about. I think they have dumbed down the heat levels because even the "nine mile island" and "911" flavors at hooters barely make my mouth feel anything anymore. this stuff is pretty rare on store shelves so if you see it, get it. it still deserves to be tasted if you dont fancy a trip to your local hooters!there are many other great buffalo wing sauces out there but i feel that these are the top 4. I will be reviewing more as i get them so stay tuned!
