Whether you prefer subtle heat to real intensity, Wingstop has something sweet and tangy for every taste bud. Their most intense option is Atomic Sauce, which offers intense spice.
The mild sauce is ideal for those who prefer a less spicy flavor.
Original Hot
Wingstop’s original spicy hot buffalo-style sauce features dark red hues with zesty flavors. It is perfect for those seeking traditional fried chicken wings meals – although some people may find its spice too intense! It is also a dipping sauce with other foods, like chicken fingers or macaroni and cheese!
If you enjoy spicy food, be sure to give this sauce a try. Not only is its taste delectable, but its spice also comes with an irresistibly delicious sweet note, making it the ideal healthy dipping sauce alternative!
Mix homemade fried chicken wings with this Louisiana brand sauce with melted butter. Your homemade wings will taste just like their restaurant counterpart! If you can’t locate this particular Louisiana brand sauce, feel free to use any other vinegar-and-pepper sauce that has similar colors as this Louisiana variety.
Original Hot is one of the most beloved Wingstop flavors and is now available on their chicken sandwiches. Each sandwich comes topped with chicken breast filet coated in this zesty sauce and served on a soft bun – an ideal way to experience Original Hot without going too spicy!
Hickory Smoked
Hickory smoked meat is a favorite among barbecue enthusiasts. The flavorful and succulent texture makes this type of hickory smoke versatile enough for many different uses, from seasoning the heart directly to creating marinades and rubs. Hickory smoke adds depth of flavor when used as an ingredient in barbeque sauces – not only can you use it now on meat dishes, but you can also use its smoke in marinades.
Hickory nuts taste delectably satisfying, but their health benefits extend beyond simply satisfying your sweet tooth. Hickory can help regulate insulin and blood sugar levels in your body to lower the risk of diabetes; additionally, they contain plenty of fiber that aids digestion by relieving constipation, bloating, and cramping symptoms. Furthermore, their vitamin B content ensures your body functions smoothly!
Those looking for the ultimate smoking experience should try hickory-flavored wings made with hickory smoke powder that mimics what smokers use to add flavor. This powder comes from condensed hickory wood smoke dehydrated to its essence, giving foods a smoky flavor without needing an actual smoker! It is ideal as an ingredient in sauces and rubs and paired perfectly with pork and beef dishes, although other forms of smoking wood might work just as well with low-temperature cooking techniques.
Mild
Mild sauces offer an ideal compromise for those who enjoy bolder flavors without getting bogged down with wetter flavors, keeping the crispiness intact and maintaining Wingstop’s delicious crispy chicken without compromising its delightful crispiness.
Lemon pepper wings are another delicious classic and straightforward choice, pairing the mild flavor of dry rub sauce with the tart zestiness of fresh lemon to produce an irresistibly flavorful combination that even those who don’t usually enjoy spicy food can appreciate.
Mango Habanero is one of Wingstop’s standout flavors. It combines fruity mango funk with floral fire from orange habanero for an incredible sauce that pairs beautifully with their delicious fried chicken offerings. Unfortunately, however, this limited-time flavor was only offered temporarily, and should you be craving this treat, it’s best to head to your nearest Wingstop while they still offer it!

Atomic
Atomic is our level two sauce that will set your mouth ablaze, leaving a lasting tingle in your throat. For those looking for less spicy options, Original Hot is another good option; though not quite as spicy, this option still provides enough spice to enhance their day!
Wingstop’s Louisiana rub is an unparalleled flavor combination of sweetness and spice, one of their most complex offerings. Perfectly balanced between sweetness and heat, its only drawback is that it may be too salty; however, this can easily be remedied with water or pickles!
Lemon Garlic may not be your typical fast-food restaurant flavor, but it offers an extraordinary dining experience. The tart lemon zest offsets spicy pepper flavors while going perfectly with their garlic Parmesan fries. Unfortunately, its quick sogging can lessen its impact and limit the overall experience.
If you’re craving something less adventurous, Hickory Smoked BBQ and Mild are excellent choices for those who prefer more subtle tastes. Though not as robust in flavor as their counterparts on this list, these varieties still deliver satisfyingly.
Cajun
Wingstop offers something sweet, sticky, fiery, hot, and spicy to satisfy every palate, with delicious garlic parmesan or Louisiana rub flavors perfect for pairing with chicken sandwiches, sauces, or classic fries!
Cajun sauce is an ideal alternative for those who appreciate classic Buffalo-style sauce but want something with more depth. While not quite as popular as Mild or Atomic sauces, Cajun delivers plenty of heat while maintaining robust herby notes for those who like dipping their wings in sauces.
Lemon Garlic may sound unusual as a sauce option, but it offers an unusual savor reminiscent of Mediterranean cuisine. Although its intense flavors may be overwhelming for beginners, Lemon Garlic remains an exciting option if you want something unique.
Mango Habanero wing sauce is perfect for those who like things spicy! While not as hot as Atomic or Cajun sauces, its bite will get the juices flowing and make you sweat! For an authentically spicy experience, opt for Mango Habanero! We suggest having water or some cold ranch handy to counter its heat effectively to temper its intensity.
Mango Habanero
This recipe offers the perfect balance of sweet and spicy with its combination of mango and habanero peppers. The mild sweetness of mango balances out their heatiness – up to 100 times hotter than jalapeno peppers! This sauce is ideal for people who love spice but are turned off by extreme heat from other sauces; it is perfect as a final topping on shrimp and fish tacos and flatbreads, burgers, or grilled vegetables. Best yet, it is super simple and fast to make!
Make this dish with ripe mango, habanero chilies, onion, garlic, and lime juice. Be cautious when handling chilies – always wear gloves to protect yourself and avoid burning your nose or eyes!
This recipe is easy and takes only 15 minutes to prepare, starting with initial cooking before refrigeration until ready for serving. After fully cooked wings have been chilled in the refrigerator until ready for help, they should be coated with mango habanero sauce and caramelized again in the oven for up to 8 minutes – providing extra heat and flavor! These wings make an impressive party dish or game-day appetizer and will have guests talking for weeks afterward!
