Better than the Thirsty Turtle wing sauce
My own concoction...
Ingredients:
1/2 lb.salted butter
24 oz. Frank’s Red Hot Sauce (no substitutions here. It has to be Frank’s)
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/4 cup minced sweet onion
1/4 cup minced jalapeno/habanero pepper
1/2 tlb. cayenne pepper
1/2 tlb. black pepper
1/2 tlb. white pepper
1/2 tlb. cumin
1.5 tlb. crushed red pepper
1 tlb. lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
3 tlbs. ketchup
Add butter and Red Hot Sauce to a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in in all dry spices (cayenne, black, crushed red, white pepper & cumin) along with the garlic, onion, and jalapeno.
Simmer for 20 minutes
Drop heat to low.
Add lemon juice, ketchup, and honey.
Let that sit for about 10-15 minutes on low.
Put the saucepan in the fridge for about 4-6 hours.
Cut the butter fat out with a knife and discard.
You should be left with a very thick sauce underneath.
Re-heat and toss with deep fried wings
A lot of the heat cooks off in this recipe. I use a LOT of habaneros and it doesn’t come out that hot. I need to add a few drops of a designer hot sauce to make it hot.
Would this be the Thirsty Turtle in Juno?
