By the way, I make my own hot wings. My sauce is super simple, but delish. Butter and Pete. I amount of Pete I add depends on how hot I want it. Usually my mix is 5 t0 6 tbsp of Pete to 1 stick of butter. I would like to find a thickening ingredient that will help the sauce to stick better, without changing the taste of the sauce. I tried cornstarch, but not too impressed. So far honey works best, but does change the flavor somewhat. Any suggestions would be appreciated. THANKS!
That's kinda the point of the butter. How thick do you want it?
The original Anchor Bar wing sauce is basically just Frank's, butter, and cider vinegar. That's how I make mine. It sticks well to crispy fried wings.
If you need a thicker sauce for some reason, I would suggest a little bit of xanthum gum. Be very judicious with it though. A sprinkle while the sauce heats up. Use too much and it adds a terrible mouth feel/texture.
