Taking advantage of
Pizza Hut's 50 Cent Wing Wednesday promotion, I tried their
Boneless Buffalo Wings which, as far as I can tell, are not wings at all, but breaded breast pieces doused in buffalo sauce. They're
normally eight "wings" for $6.99 but at
50 cent a wing, it came out to
$4.
You can also get Pizza Hut's wings in "Traditional" (non-breaded bone-in wings) or "Crispy Bone-In" (self-explanatory). It is normally slightly less for
bone-in wings at eight wings for $6.49 in my neck of the woods.
Buffalo flavor is available in three levels of spiciness: mild, medium, and burnin' hot (personally I would have named my hottest flavor "ragin' inferno" or "
novacane substitute" but that's just me). I chose to go with "medium." Buffalo sauce (and wings), by the way, is named after their city of origin: Buffalo, NY, and is basically cayenne pepper hot sauce and butter or margarine.
So how was it? It was quite spicy with lasting heat so I would say spicy enough unless you hate your tongue, in which case, I would suggest "burnin' hot." The breading was soggy but that's not unexpected when wings are sauced. T
he Buffalo sauce was used too liberally and overpowered much of the chicken flavor; there was just too much salt and vinegary sourness.
Also they didn't offer us any Ranch sauce! How can I eat Buffalo Wings with no Ranch sauce?! Celery and carrots sticks would be nice as well.
