- ½ cup butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s Red Hot)
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar (optional)
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Garlic: Place the butter in a small saucepan with the minced garlic.
- Cook Until Aromatic: Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the butter is completely melted and the garlic becomes fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Hot Sauce and Vinegar: Stir in the hot sauce and white vinegar if using; whisk continuously until well combined and smooth.
- Cool Before Use: Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before tossing with cooked chicken wings for best flavor and coating.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce depending on your heat preference.
- The vinegar adds a subtle tang but can be omitted if desired.
- This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week; reheat gently before use.
- For a less rich sauce, reduce the butter slightly or substitute with olive oil.
