Hooters Chicken wing sauce is a wonderful wing sauce. While you may have to provide your own Hooter’s girls, you can make Hooters Chicken Wing Sauce just like the restaurant does. When your wings are done, coat them in this sauce and serve.
Hooters Chicken Wing Sauce has loads of flavor. Brown sugar gives it a touch of sweetness to balance the heat from cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce.
Hot wings are a great appetizer to make for a party, game day, or any fun celebration. This sauce coats beautifully on fried or baked chicken wings, especially homemade Hooters wings.

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?Reply
Stephanie
This is/was a sauce they would serve in a bottle on the table. It was not the buffalo sauce.

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!

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.
