Hoosier Daddy Ghost Roast BBQ Sauce Wings

Nothing makes me happier than to find a product from Indiana that just knocks my socks off. That makes my taste buds happy. Hoosier Daddy BBQ does both. Started by William Marshall and now continued by his daughter, this small company produces quality all-natural BBQ sauces. And they’re just not for BBQ either. I love making Hoosier Daddy Ghost Roast BBQ sauce wings. Oh, yes they have other sauces. But if I’m jonesin’ for a good bit of heat in a nice, slightly sweet sauce, this is it.

Fiery Sweetness

Hoosier Daddy Ghost Roast BBQ sauce wings are spicy. I ain’t gonna lie. The name kinda gives it away. But fear not. That heat level is joined by a little sweetness in a thick, mustard and tomato-based sauce. It goes on wings perfectly. And it stays there. If you’re worried about the kick, just go light on the sauce. You’ll still get some of the best sauced wings you’ve ever had.

In Stores And Online

I’m lucky enough to be able to get all of the Hoosier Daddy BBQ sauces at our local grocery store. Tremendous on anything grilled or smoked, the sauces take wings to an all-new place too. Whether they are deep-fried, baked, grilled or roasted, you’re in for a treat. You can always order their sauces online too.

Two Ingredient Wing Sauce

I am not a hot sauce aficionado. I know what the Scoville scale is, and I know that in general, the smaller the pepper the hotter it is. And there ends my hot sauce knowledge. But I do know what I like, and fortunately there are hundreds and hundreds of hot sauces on the market. All screaming ‘put me on wings’. It can’t get any easier to take that delicious hot sauce and turn it into an ever more delicious wing sauce using my two ingredient wing sauce technique.

Your Heat Your Way

I tend to lean towards the fruit-based hot sauces, and ones that aren’t super-duper hot. They make for the perfect wing sauces. I usually make them using the ‘hot’ technique listed in the steps in my two ingredient wing sauce recipe below. For that spice level I use equal amounts of butter and hot sauce. You can vary the ratio to suit your liking and the sauce you’re using. I’m kind of a butter-a-holic, so I’m happy with more of it rather than less!

3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock

For a mild sauce

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons your favorite hot sauce

5 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons your favorite hot sauce

Notes

In general, the ratio of butter to hot sauce is as below. For example, if the ratio is 3:1 that means you use 3 parts of butter for every 1 part hot sauce.

For a mild sauce: 3:1

For a medium sauce: 2:1

For a hot sauce: 1:1
