But with so many flavors on their menu (and their penchant for illegally influencing sporting events), we wondered about the accuracy of the color-coded system they use to rank their sauces. Two intrepid wing-lovers sat down with BW3's 12 hottest sauces and ranked them on heat and flavor. And because the perfect wing finds a balance of sweet and heat, we tallied up the results so you know what to order when you want to impress with your fire-eating ability, and what to eat when you're being a wuss. 12. HONEY BBQ 11. HOT BBQ 10. ASIAN ZING 8 (tie). THAI CURRY 8 (tie). JAMMIN' JALAPENO 6 (tie). CARIBBEAN JERK 6 (tie). MEDIUM 5. SPICY GARLIC 3 (tie). HOT 3 (tie). BLAZIN' 2. WILD 1. MANGO HABANERO THE VERDICT Mango Habanero scored a touchdown (in OT) in both heat and flavor, ensuring it was, unquestionably, the winner. Liz Childers is a food/drink editorial assistant at Thrillist and thought she could brave the Blazin' sauce, but is still regaining the use of her taste buds a month later.

The sweetness of the mango cuts through the very strong heat of the habanero pepper. It's also thick, sticky, and messy — my favorite way to eat wings.
How hot is Buffalo Wild Wings Mango Habanero Sauce?It is the most wing-like of the wings. Taste: 9/10 - Mango, that fruit you always think about buying at the store before realizing you don't know what the hell it looks like, has the perfect sweetness to contrast the flamin' peppers without being cloyingly sweet. Heat: 8/10 - Fiery, but balanced.
What does BWW mango habanero taste like?Flavor is very similar as sweet chilli sauce . But not too spicy as i was expecting . But good for those people who don't like extreme spicy stuff. Delicious and spicy love it!!
Is the Mango Habanero Sauce Good Buffalo Wild Wings?1. Mango Habanero. Between the clever accuracy of the name and the ass-kicking flavor, Mango Habanero is easily the wildest condiment in Buffalo Wild Wings' arsenal. It's the type of sauce where you can easily down 14 wings coated in it but also come away drenched in sweat from the heat.
