Servings: 1 ¼ cup
Calories: 87kcal
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup cayenne pepper hot sauce
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt or more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter has melted, then simmer for 30 seconds. Some fat may separate as it simmers, but this will re-incorporate as it cools.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and pour into a bowl to cool. Let it to room temperature before using, about 30 minutes. Whisk occasionally as it cools to mix in any separated butter. The sauce will noticeably thicken and become smooth.
- Coat deep fried or baked wings in the sauce, and serve any extra on the side. Be sure to have some blue cheese salad dressing and celery sticks ready to enjoy alongside the wings.
Notes
- Add more heat by decreasing the butter by 2 tablespoons, adding an extra teaspoon of vinegar, and adding cayenne pepper to taste.
- Let the sauce cool and thicken before using; this will help it stick to wings.
- Store: To store leftovers, seal it inside of a mason jar and store in the fridge for up to 1 week. It will harden when refrigerated, so you'll need to microwave it for about 30 seconds and stir well before using to give it a pourable consistency.
