    While this recipe is a great tasting and different… definitely not the classic Hooter wing sauce? Maybe you were trying to copy a sweet sirachi sauce or something?

  2. Mike mundy

    Use the butter and Frank’s hot sauce.. not absolutely perfect copy but damn good and easy.. a lot more realistic than the cluster fk used here for a so called copy.. and guys usually do pretty good.. what happened???

    • Kimberly

      That’s what is was thinking Mike!
      Franks and butter. That’s it.

      But this is sauce for DIPPING the wings in, not Marinating them in ????

      I think ???? lol

    Totally agree… one could come much closer to the actual recipe by copying the ingredients label off an actual jar of hooters hot sauce!! The OP’s recipe is not good!

  4. Jamie323

    I love this sauce. I make it alot. It’s addictive. I don’t care if it’s not exactly the same as Hooter’s, I think this is better. Thank You So Much FIR Your version. I love ir!!!

  5. Rushgrl2112

    One stick butter softened, 8-10 tbsp hot sauce, 1-2tbsp flour, 1/4tsp garlic powder and 1/4tsp onion powder. Boom. Now I have it whenever I want it.

    Definitely doesn’t taste like Hooters wing sauce, the balsamic vinegar was a miss, and I am pretty sure the brown sugar and chili sauce is too. I tried it, I am not sold, I will look else where to find the right mix.
