My family is hopelessly addicted to chicken wings. Give me spicy…I don’t care the flavor as long as it’s spicy. The spicier the better! The kids on the other hand prefer BBQ chicken wings.  I say just give them a few years and they will love my copycat Spicy Garlic Chicken Wing Sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings.

 We go to BWW several times a month and we ALWAYS order the spicy garlic sauce…it’s my favorite.  I dip my fries in it too!  Addicted is probably an understatement.

Of course with the big football game coming up I thought it would be fun to make a homemade version of my favorite sauce to avoid the craziness of going out.  If you are having a party or just planning a small viewing then these need to be on your menu.  Make the sauce up a few days in advance and game day prep will be a piece of cake!

Although, if I’m gonna be honest then I have to tell you I only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials….it’s 3 weeks away and I have no idea who is even in the running to be in the Super Bowl.  I really don’t care.  <Gasp>  Shocking, I know.  Now, if you want to talk baseball and world series then I’m your gal….but that would be a totally different menu, wouldn’t it!

We always end up a party, despite my protests but I usually have a great time in the kitchen with the ladies chatting and hanging out until the commercials and half time come on!

Do you watch the Super Bowl?  I’d love to hear what you usually munch on during the game!

Print Recipe
  • 1 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsps sugar
  • 2 tsps garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 ts Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsps water
  • 2 tsps cornstarch
  • 2 dozen wing pieces
  • 8-10 cups vegetable oil or shortening

Combine first 7 ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat until boiling, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine egg yolk, water, and cornstarch in a small bowl and whisk until fully combined and then whisk into cooled sauce.

To Cook Wings:

Heat oil in a large fryer or stock pot to 350F. Slowly add wing pieces and cook for 10-14 minutes or until light brown. Carefully remove from oil and drain on a baking rack or plate covered in brown paper sacks to absorb any extra oil.

Toss slightly cooled wings in warm sauce. Enjoy!

  1. I made this sauce for Super Bowl Sunday and it was perfect! I didn't have cornstarch but I added the egg yolk and the consistency was great; thick and did not separate at all. I added extra garlic powder but that's just personal preference. My family are Hooter's wing fans and their spicy garlic is awesome! This recipe satisfied our craving, and the boil then bake method left our wings almost like they were hot from the fryer!

  2. Tastes super similar to spicy garlic sauce! I had to adjust the recipe a bit, though. I added about 2 tsp more sugar (because it was too vinegar-y at first), simmered it for about 5-10 minutes longer to reduce and thicken, and doubled the cornstarch-egg mixture to get the consistency and richness I wanted. It still wasn't as light or thick as the original spicy garlic sauce, but close enough and tastes great!

  8. So why do you add the egg yoke? Isn't uncooked egg bad for you? I want to make this but I don't want to get sick duke to the raw egg. Doe the egg have to be added? Thank you for your time

    • The yolk gets heated enough in the sauce, but you could skip it if you feel uncomfortable adding it. I'm not sure the sauce would be exactly the same, but close enough. w-

  10. This is by far my favorite sauce! I always make a big batch so I can dip fries and other goodies in it :) I was wondering though how, in your pictures, the color is light orange just like buffalo wild wings sauce is. Mine is a deep red. Still taste great!

  11. This is my favorite B-Dubs sauce so I can't wait to try this! Do you know if this sauce would freeze well?

  12. Oooh, I wonder if this is one of the sauces we picked the last time we were at Wild Buffalo Wings? I have such a bad memory, but it was spicy and I think it was garlicky. I have been there in a few years, but we have one right down the road that my husband sometimes goes to with his friends. I bet he'd love this.
