Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the hot sauce, white vinegar, soy sauce, granulated sugar, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Gradually pour the slurry into the saucepan while stirring, to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should become smooth and slightly thicker.
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. It is now ready to be tossed with cooked chicken wings or used as a dipping sauce.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
