🥗Healthier: homemade hot sauce

💰Cheaper: sriracha

Homemade hot sauce can be made with fresh ingredients, while sriracha is often less expensive.

Preheat smoker to 350°F.

Season chicken wings lightly with Canyon crust beef rub and pat dry with a paper towel.

Place seasoned wings in the smoker and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 150-160°F.

In a small pan, pour in about 1 cup of Frank's hot sauce.

Grate 2 cloves of garlic finely and add to the hot sauce in the pan.

Place the pan in the smoker to warm the sauce while the wings finish cooking.

Once wings are done, remove them from the smoker and check for crispiness.

In a large mixing bowl, add the hot wings and cut room temperature butter into small pieces to help it melt easily.

Pour the warmed hot sauce over the wings and butter in the mixing bowl.

Optionally, add honey or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.

Mix everything together until well combined, ensuring the butter emulsifies with the sauce.
