Hooter's Hot Wing Sauce

Submitted by Kay D.

"This is supposed to be a copycat of the sauce served on Hooter's Hotwings. I've never been in a Hooter's (and won't ever be)so I don't know how authentic the taste is, but these are quite tasty on hot wings, deep fried plain or breaded either one works nicely with this sauce."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups butter, melted
• 1⁄2 cup Tabasco sauce, plus
• 2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 3⁄4 teaspoon paprika
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 3⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons chili sauce

directions

1. Simply mix all the ingredients together very well.
2. Dunk, dip or soak your cooked wings in this sauce.
3. For a change of pace, I will occasionally re-fry the wings after they've been sitting in the sauce, and then dunk them again once they've spent just a few seconds in the deep fryer, crisping up.
4. Serve with ranch or bleu cheese dressing, or whatever you prefer.

Don't call it a Hooters copy cat recipe if you've never even had Hooters wings

This is NOT the real Hooters recipe.

As a regular Hooters customer who, in his lifetime, has consumed more than his share of their fine wings, I feel more than qualified to be able to compare this recipe to the taste of the actual Hooters sauce. While it comes close, it is not an exact copy. I will say, however, that is is very tasty and I will use it often for my tailgate and Sunday afternoon football parties. Bottom line: this sauce rocks!

This is nothing similar to the "copycat" recipe of Hooters Chicken Wings I have which is published by Todd Wilber "Top Secret Restaurant Recipes". I'm sure it's good, but wondering about the "copycat" recipe.

ps. I forgot, I also added a tad of A-1 and Worcheshire sauce to give it a bolder taste. My husband was very happy with the latest creation!
