Wing Sauce from Scratch

Buddah

Buddah

CaJohn is hosting the Columbus North Market show on Feb 21st, and one of the things he is having at the show is a wing sauce contest. I do not know squat about making a wing sauce other than pouring some out of a bottle. I am looking for a recipe to make a basic wing sauce. I will totally retool the recipe to my liking, but the measurement part of it is what I need. I know DefCon has perfected it with cream, but I do not want to go this way. If I am going to try something I want to make it unique. So if anyone has one, please let me know. Thanks.

I bet. You certainly have enough peppers to work with. Have you played around with some sauces?

i use a spread made from soybeans (my girl's a lactard) and in a perfect world use one of the concentrates i've been making thanks to this forum. i used them at a recent party to rave reviews. just chiles and "butter", salt and pepper. Done. It doesn't get any more basic than that. pureed chiles, butter, salt pepper. Whatever. :)

I remember you mentioning that. I want to see someone play around with the Trinidad Scorpion by itself because it has such great flavor before the heat hits hard.

I still need measurements because I have to jar it for the contest.

Just mess around with it. Good ingredients, not too much vinegar, test pH, taste, adjust, test pH, bottle and hot water bathe.

Did you figure this out Buddah?

Not at all. I got some ingredients I am going to play around with Sunday or Monday and see what I end up with. If it tastes like ass, I will use the garbage disposal as my reviewer. If I like it, I will jar it up and bring it with me the show next Saturday.

Keep in mind wing sauces should be somewhat think so they can cling to the wings, and creamy, if you want traditional, since a restaurant made sauce is made by mixing hot sauce with butter.

Understood. I won't be conventional in my approach. The thing I wanted more than anything is a measurement of vinegar to the whole thang. I can't find a single wing recipe on the net, just hot sauce. So I will play around a bit and see what happens, but the ingredients I have planned are unique. I will say what they are afterwards whether I use it or not. No cream or butter though. Maybe clumpy cottage cheese instead. :P
