Creative Wing Sauces for Your Event 🎨
One of the best parts of booking our food truck? Your guests get to choose from our signature creative wing sauces. Here's what we offer:
Holy Schnikes
Ghost pepper heat with sweet finish
Our signature hot sauce. Named after Chris Farley's Tommy Boy quote, this sauce brings serious heat with a surprising sweet finish. Perfect for guests who want to feel alive (or die trying).
Ranch on Fire
Creamy ranch meets serious heat
The crowd favorite. Creamy ranch base with a habanero kick. It's like if Hidden Valley and a habanero had a beautiful baby. This is what Austin bartenders order on their breaks.
Garlic Parmesan
Dry rub for the refined palate
Not all heroes wear capes. This dry rub is what you order when you want flavor without the mess. Garlic lovers, this is your jam. Warning: not a first-date food.
Sweet Chile
The gateway drug
Sweet and spicy in perfect harmony. This is what you order for your friend who "doesn't do spicy" but you want to introduce them to the good life. Asian-inspired perfection.
Plus we have Buffalo, BBQ, Lemon Pepper, and more. When you book, we can customize the sauce selection for your event. Want all mild options? All hot? Mix of both? We've got you covered.
