Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup bourbon
  • ⅓ cup Frank's hot sauce
  • 3 tblsp butter
  • 2 teaspoon honey
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the saucepan and stir to combine.
  • Bring sauce to a light simmer, then stir and reduce the heat back to medium-low.
  • Cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients are well combined, 3-5 minutes.
  • Toss sauce with your preferred sauce delivery system.
  • Freeze extra sauce for later use. Because of the bourbon, it does not freeze solid, so be sure to keep it in a well sealed container. I usually have enough sauce to make wings three separate times.
