I like the flavor of habaneros, not only the raw heat. I like the flavor of wing sauce. But the two wing chains near me only offer Mango Habanero and Honey Habanero, respectively. Are there any chains that offer Habanero-flavored sauce that otherwise comes close to the classic Frank’s-based wing sauce? Failing that, is there a way for me to finely dice _small_ portions of …oh, screw it. Tonight I think I will buy a mass of habaneros and blend them in a regular blender and then dump them into Frank’s, and get _mild_ smoked wings from one of the places, as a base, and see how my blend tastes. Or maybe not, it seems like too much work. ---

I’ve never seen a chain that has just straight up habanero hot sauce. They usually do the spicy-sweet thing and combine it with honey, etc. like you mentioned. If you want to take a stab at making your own sauce, try to find a bottle of green habanero sauce by El Yucateco (blue and yellow label with a white cap). It has a good heat, and a good habanero flavor. This might be a good sauce to mix with Frank’s. ---

This might be a good sauce to mix with Frank’s. I love that stuff but it always takes me a minute to get used to it. Not the heat, first the color which just isn’t a normal color for food, and second the almost toothpasty like texture which doesn’t normally come out of a bottle. But once I steel myself it is goood! ---

It has a good heat, and a good habanero flavor. This might be a good sauce to mix with Frank’s. I haven’t tried this yet, but I’ve been meaning to. My local grocery carries [Bulliard’s Habanero sauce](http://www.bulliardshotsauce.com/). It tastes–to me–exactly like what Frank’s would taste like were it made from habaneros instead of cayennes.
