Wingers sauce copycat

I make this on a weekly basic. We inhale it with everything. This is only enough for the 2 of us. 1/2 c brown sugar 2-3 T Franks Hot Sauce: has to be franks 1 t apple cider vinegar 1 T corn syrup Bring to a boil and only boil for 1 min. If it cools it sort of sets up in a thick gel mess. Which is fine but we usually eat it fresh and soft. Doesn't make good leftovers. I've made it without corn syrup before and it's fine. Slightly runnier texture.

Green Enchilada Sauce

This is from Our Best Bites. It's a cafe rio copy cat. No idea why the instructions are so lengthy and time consuming. I washed all the produce gave them all a rough chop. Through everything into a stock pot. Turned it to simmer. Went and watched some Hulu for an hour, came back and ran my stick blender until smoothe. Or pour it all into a regular blender and make it smoothe. Then I wanted it a touch thicker so I boiled it on high for 5-10 min and poof Done! No MSG no extra calories just straight up veggies and flavor! Yum! 2-3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 1 large onion, minced 5-6 cloves garlic, minced or pressed 2 green peppers, chopped 1-2 jalapenos, seeded and membranes removed if desired (and I desire. Always.) 1 1/2 lb. tomatillos, husked and quartered or halved 1/2 bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped 1 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt 1/4 tsp. black pepper 1 1/2 tsp. cumin 4 c. chicken broth 2-3 Tbsp. sugar (optional and to taste; the sauce Cafe Rio uses seems to be slightly sweet, so if I’m using this sauce for enchilada-style burritos, I generally add a little sugar, but for everything else, I leave it out.) In a large saucepan or stock pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic until tender and fragrant. While onions are sauteeing, combine tomatillos, green peppers, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro in your blender. Process until smooth; you may have to do it in batches and/or add some chicken broth to make things blendable. Pour the tomatillo mixture over the onions and garlic and add chicken broth, salt, pepper, and cumin. Simmer 15 minutes-1 hour, depending on the consistency you want. I usually turn the heat to high and boil it uncovered until I reach the consistency I want; it makes things go a lot faster. The sauce can also be simmered in a slow cooker all day. Serve over tacos, as an enchilada sauce, inside burritos, or as a dip for chips.

Teriyaki Sauce

OBB has a really great Teriyaki Sauce! I loved it. You all should try it. Specially with the Bacon Chicken Skewers from OBB. It's a beautiful bite of magic in your mouth.

Teriyaki Sauce

1 tb Cornstarch
1 tb cold water
1/2 cup White Sugar
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Cider Vinegar
1 clove Garlic, Minced or pressed
1/2 tsp. Ground Ginger
1/4 tsp. Black Pepper

Combine Sugar, Soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, pepper in a sauce pan. While it's coming to a boil mix cornstarch and water together. When it boils add in the cornstarch. Stir until thickened. Remove from Heat. Use how desired.


*Mom don't be afraid of the Garlic. This really is good. You can also use fresh ginger.

Winger's Sauce

2 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
3 Tbs corn syrup
1/3 cup Franks Red Hot Pepper Sauce (has to be Franks)
1 Tbs apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup hot water

Boil all ingredients.



chef tips: when I made this, I boiled it way to long and it turned to a rock. Just boil until the sugar is dissolved and also; it seemed a little too sweet so you might want to start small and work your way to bigger.

UPDATE: UPDATE: UPDATE:

1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2 teaspoon corn syrup
1 heaping Tablespoon Franks Hot Sauce
1/2-1 teaspoon apple cider
2 Tablespoons Hot Water -- I just added a small splash.

Add all ingredients in to a sauce pan. Stir. When it boils. It's done.

This is only enough for just a few people. I'll continue to work on the regular recipe and update again when done.
