For a smokier flavor, use a smoked bourbon or add a dash of smoked paprika to the sauce. Adjust the amount of hot sauce and cayenne pepper to suit your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have brown sugar on hand, you can substitute with granulated sugar plus a tablespoon of molasses. The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently before using. This sauce is also fantastic on chicken tenders, drumsticks, or even grilled tofu for a vegetarian option.

Jan 12, 2024I tried it on baked wings and it was still delicious, just make sure the wings are crispy enough before tossing them in the sauce.
