wing sauce

Spicy orange glaze

Wing sauce is a spicy, tangy sauce used to coat chicken wings, typically made from hot sauce and butter.

The classic version accompanies Buffalo wings, but the term now covers any sauce applied to wings: The restaurant offers six different wing sauces.

Variations range from mild to extreme heat, with flavors like garlic parmesan, teriyaki, or Carolina mustard.
