Motto: If it didn’t burn going in, and it didn’t burn going out, it wasn’t hot enough.

In honor of the Superb Owl:

  1. Melt 1tbsp butter in a large saucepan.

  2. Add:

    • 2 large bottles (24oz total) Louisiana “Red Hot” Sauce (Or Frank’s, but its not as good).
    • 1 small bottle Tabasco Sauce
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 2 heaping tbsp ketchup
    • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

  3. Turn on the vent hood and simmer this mess for 15-30 minutes. You’re trying to reduce as much of the water as you can. Don’t turn it up past low - med-low, or it’ll burn.

  4. Let the mixture cool.

  5. Deep fry some wings, or bake some boneless breaded chicken tenders, according to the instructions on the package.

  6. In a large, watertight container, put a few wings, and ladle in some of the sauce. Shake vigorously. Repeat for all the wings.

If you’re a wimp, serve with celery or ranch dressing.

To make it less hot, don’t cook it as long, and/or add more ketchup. For more hot, add cayenne pepper.

This should be enough sauce to coat 100 wings, or a 10-lb bag of chicken fingers.
