Chicken wings tend to be topped with some pretty intensely flavorful sauces, but Buffalo Wild Wings' salted caramel barbecue wings are unlike any wing before -- other than themselves. The crazy melange of taste was originally released in a limited run a few years ago, but Buffalo Wild Wings has decided to re-release the salted caramel barbecue wings in time for summer 2018.
Wings are famous for being the conduit of tongue-destroying spice, but the salted caramel barbecue wings aren't spicy at all. The base sauce for the wings is a mild honey barbecue sauce, and they're then drizzled with a salted caramel glaze.
As with last time around, the flavor-rich wings will only be available for a limited time -- until August 19th -- as part of Buffalo Wild Wings' summer menu.
