Finger Stickin' Chicken Sauce

Chicken wings are certainly all-American. It seems like everyone and their
dog has at least one wing sauce, and often many. All too often your
choices are limited to sweet-and-wimpy or rip-your-lips-off hot. Here's my
alternative that gives you a little of each.

This sauce gives you sweet and sticky, with just enough heat. The heat
isn't just spicy, but it also adds has a more interesting and deep spicy
flavor. I guess you could describe it as "sophisticated heat".

Although I offer this as a chicken sauce, it would be great on pork. It has
a tangy sweetness that just screams to be tried on ribs.

Ingredients
1 cup Frank's® RedHot® sauce (original)
1 cup Dark brown sugar
6 Tbsp Butter, unsalted
3 Tbsp Pickapeppa sauce
1 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tsp Black pepper, ground fine

Note: If you don't have, or can't find Pickapeppa sauce, just use two
tablespoons of ketchup and one tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, with
just a pinch of ground allspice or cloves.

Combine all of the ingredients in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.

Bring the mixture just to a boil, whisking occasionally.

Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool.

Brush on the chicken of your choice, serve and enjoy!

(Makes about 2 cups)

Yum doesn't quite describe what I'm seeing there. Just copied the recipe...looking forward to trying it out.
 
Gonna try this one for sure! I like things SUPER spicy but the wife doesn't. This looks like it will be a great compromise.

Yep, it is. You might try splitting the batch in two and kicking up some for you.

Sounds great! I’m gonna give this a shot. It sounds right up my alley. I like some heat but don’t like getting my lips burned up.
 
Looks excellent, its not too sweet is it? I think I'd cut the sugar in half but then it might not be as thick. I'm thinking.

"Too sweet" is very subjective. Try it as-is first, then adjust as you see fit. :wink:

That sauce looks fantastic. I'll definitely give it a try as-is, but I might have to try another batch using orange marmalade instead of the brown sugar too. I really like the slight bitterness that brings. Thanks!
