What is Hooters Daytona Beach Sauce?

Hooters Daytona Beach sauce is a signature sauce known for its sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor profile. It combines elements of BBQ sauce, hot sauce, honey, and various seasonings to create a distinctive taste. Typically used to coat chicken wings, this sauce is beloved for its versatility in enhancing grilled meats, and sandwiches, and as a dipping sauce.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Sweet Baby Ray’s Original BBQ Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

How to make Hooters Daytona Beach Sauce

Step 1:

Combine the Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce, Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, honey, brown sugar, granulated garlic, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper in a medium saucepan. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.

Step 2:

Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer.

Step 3:

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 4:

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.

Tips

  • Reduce the hot sauce or crushed red pepper if you prefer a milder sauce. For extra heat, increase these ingredients to your taste.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of water or more soy sauce to thin it out. If it’s too thin, let it simmer a bit longer to reduce and thicken.
  • Use the sauce as a marinade for chicken wings or other meats. Marinating for at least a few hours or overnight will enhance the flavor.
  • When grilling, brush the sauce onto your meat during the last few minutes of cooking. This will give it a nice glaze without burning the sugars in the sauce.
