Hooters Spicy Garlic Sauce

Featured in Easy Party Snacks.

Finally got my wing sauce to taste just like Hooters! Took a few tries but this combo of hot sauce, butter and garlic is spot on. Ready in just 15 minutes and tastes better than takeout. Not too spicy but you can add more heat if you want. Great for game day or anytime you're craving wings. Makes enough for about 2 pounds of wings. The butter makes it coat the wings perfectly.
