I use Texas Pete and as far as I know (I don't have a bottle on me now), it has no carbs.

Zorra's right, ask your server... if it's just hot sauce, yes. If the sauce tastes sweet or has honey, etc. in it, no. :D

Yeah, I was really stoked when I found out hot sauce (just the plain one) has no carbs! Have a great time tonight & enjoy your chicken wings!

Texas pete has no carbs in it. Traditional buffalo wings don't have any sugar in it. It's USUALLY just fried chicken wings (without breading of course), butter/margarine and hot sauce served with a ranch/blue cheese dressing. The dressing would prob have about 1 carb in it, nothing to freak over. I would ask the waiter just in case if they add sugar to it OR if the chicken wings are breaded.

I go too and also purchase the different sauces from Buffalo Wild Wings (http://www.buffalowildwings.com/locations/index.asp). My favorite is called Spicy Garlic and it goes good with pork and beef as well as chicken. I use this stuff allot, because it only has like 2 grams per 2tbls. I can coat about a dozen full wings with that amount and boy oh boy is it yummy. It really makes my taste buds SNAP!!!

According to the USDA database, hot sauce has .08g per teaspoon! That means a cup has just under 4g, so drink up! :lol:

like Tabasco Sauce are fine. When mixed with butter (the traditional wing hot sauce way) they are no problem except the total calories eventually. If you are still in the early stages of weight loss, even the calories should be no problem.
As others have noted, watch out for honey or any other sweeteners in the sauce........as well as things like garlic etc. which can add some carbs.
I used lots and lots of Tabasco Sauce on loads of things because the spiced up heat turns many foods into more delectable items. I especially like it on scrambled eggs or omelets and have a container of Tabasco mixed with straight mayonnaisse that I use as a dip for lots of things like cold chicken etc.
