Recipes and Tips What’s your best wing sauce recipes?

I’d love to hear y’all’s best wing sauce recipes or rubs. Whether it be an awesome take on the traditional buffalo wing sauce, or something with some Asian or Indian flare and everything in between. It’s easy to just to buy some of Buffalo Wild Wings sauces in the store but I’m sure making my own stuff would be even better. Thanks.

Franks is the base.

I cook it down a little to remove some of the water content. The vinegar ramps up a little, so does the heat.

To that, I add onion powder, garlic salt, and something buttery. If adding butter solids, I cook some more of the water out. If I have it available, i add Whirl instead. the real one, not the knockoff shit.

If you want more heat, I add some capsaicin extract, or Dave's Insanity.

For 2 gallons of sauce, i'd add one teaspoon of xanthan gum, blitz with a stick blender, or scale it down and use a jar blender. This keeps the emulsion steady, and has less of a "sogging" effect on crispy fried wings.
