Not bad, but lacking in any real heat. There are better options.

Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce — 

Frank's has a splendid line of sauces out there for our consumption. however, this is probably the worst of the bunch for making Wings. The Buffalo Wing Sauce here in question goes on the wings straight, with nothing added. The flavor isn't that bad, but it lacks any kick at all. If you don't like heat this is a good sauce for you. However, you can make a wing sauce that is far better using Frank's ORIGINAL Red Hot or better yet, Frank's Xtra Hot. Mix either one of these sauces about 2-1 with melted butter and you have an outstanding traditional wing sauce. If you like a milder sauce, use this or simply mix the Original Frank's 1-1 with butter. Any less than a 1-1 mix you have a butter wing and not a buffalo wing. If you are truly a hot wing fanatic that really loves the heat, use Frank's Xtra hot 2-1 with melted butter and toss about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Dave's Insanity sauce in there. Dave's won't change the flavor of the sauce at all, but will add a tremendous amount of heat. You can also throw Garlic Powder, Garlic Salt, or Crushed Garlic into these traditional sauces to add a Garlic kick to your sauce if that is something you like.

Your ideas for mixing things up;Sounds so good, We like to mix things up and have things different ways, Then we like the classic hot wings too, depends on our cravings.. I have never thought of sugar..When I use honey for honey garlic I only put a tiny bit so it's not too sweet and sticky.. I will have to look for the wild wings variety "That mango Habanero one sounds really different "

We go for Tabasco sauce here when we want some heat. It's a local product from my home state :)

I make wings like twice or three times a week...and i have tried tossing some honey in there too...didn't like it, but I probably threw too much in there. To sweeten the buffalo sauce up I prefer straight sugar to honey. Generally I make my traditional wing sauce with 3/8 C Frank's Xtra Hot, 1/4 C Butter, About 10-12 Drops of Dave's Insanity, and about 1-2 Tablespoons of White Vinegar. Of course if I am feeling garlicky, I throw a teaspoon of Garlic Powder in there. I've tried everything really and simple really is better in most cases. If you like different flavored sauces on wings, try some of the Buffalo Wild Wings sauces. Their Caribbean Jerk and Mango Habanero are great sauces, and the Asian Zing isn't too bad. Their BBQ sauces can be nearly duplicated by diffferent BBQ sauces you can get at the local grocery store.
