Round 1, matchup 2. Cajun Dry Rub is the traditionalist's wing: no sauce, all seasoning, nothing to hide behind. Sweet Chili is the opposite religion, glossy and sweet with a kick. This one came down to how Moe actually eats. In his own words:

Traditionalists will go for the Cajun dry rub all day. However, when it comes to wings, I love them saucy, and then some more sauce on top of that!

If I'm sitting by my pool with a pint of You're My Boy Blue beer, then it's sweet chili straight to the face.

If the Cajun dry rub is extra spicy, and will make my eyes water, it has a chance. However, I'm Asian. I'm always partial to a sweet Thai chili sauce. Let me taste the fruit and the spice, and add a kick to it.

Sweet chili takes this one, but it wasn't a landslide. If I'm in New Orleans, you know I'm eating the Cajun dry rub. If I'm sitting by my pool with a pint of You're My Boy Blue beer, then it's sweet chili straight to the face.

The verdict

Sweet Chili takes matchup 2 and moves on to Round 2 of the Moe Train Picks wing sauce bracket.
