Wing Sauce if Your Favorite Hot Sauce is Too Thin

  • Set a shallow bowl on a scale and pour all your hot sauce on the scale. Make sure to tare the scale while the bowl is empty.
  • Measure how much hot sauce you have in the bowl. Then multiply the amount of hot sauce by 0.05%.
  • Carefully, add 0.05% of xanthan gum to the bowl with the hot sauce.
  • Use an emulsifier blender to mix the ingredients together until all the clumps are gone.
  • Add oil and butter to the hot sauce mixture and pour back into the container.

Wings

  • Preheat oven at 425F
  • Make sure your wings are dry! Pat your wings with a paper towl and then lay them on a baking sheet. Put the wings in the fridge for a couple of hour or even overnight if you have time.
  • Add the wings to a bowl and coat it with paprika, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Make sure to coat all the wings evenly with this mixture.
  • Add the wings to a greased baking sheet, preferably one with a rack so it can evenly bake.
  • Bake for 15 minutes then turn it each wing around. Bake for another 15 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160F.
  • Remove the wings from the oven and add it to a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of wing sauce to the mixture. Toss it around to fully coat the wings.
