Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 2/3 cup Frank Redhot
  • 1/2 cup Lime Juice Freshly squeezed
  • 4 tbsp Maple Syrup Best quality possible
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper Include only if you like HOT!
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Corn Starch

Instructions

  • Place a medium sized pot on medium heat. Add butter and stir till melted. Add Garlic, stir till fragrant and translucent (about 2 minutes).
  • Add Franks Redhot, Lime Juice, Maple Syrup, Black pepper. Mix well.
  • Adjust heat to medium/low. Let simmer till it's reduced in half (about 10 to 15 minutes)
  • If sauce still seems very runny, simply add about a tablespoon of corn starch and stir throughout 
  • Place cooked wings in a bowl, pour in the sauce, toss well and serve on a plate

Notes

Quality Maple Syrup really makes this recipe. If you're someone who loves a little extra heat, add Cayenne pepper to tasty.
Grill wings are great, but for this recipie backed or fried are a better choice. Simply because the grilled blackened flavor over powers the sauce.
