I’ll never look at a bottle of hot sauce the same way again. The fine folks over at Bayou Gotham changed my world when they came out with Bayou Bourré Louisiana Boil sauce. Heat-wise, this sauce has just a little nice gentle kick to it. But flavor-wise, this sauce is insanely great. I devoured my Bayou Bourre Louisiana Boil wings in no time at all.
Crab Boil Heaven
I am a crab boil addict. I love the flavors. This sauce brings all that. It’s a wonderful combination of spiciness (but not super spicy at all!), citrus, onions, celery, corn and potatoes. Yes, you read that correctly. It’s all in these Bayou Bourre Louisiana Boil wings. You see it all in the bottle. It looks good just sitting there. It’s like flavor art in a bottle.
Butter Up. Or Don’t.
I usually mix a little melted butter with my hot sauce before saucing on my wings. It’s what I call my Two Ingredient wing sauce. Pretty sneaky naming, huh? Well, sometimes you run into a hot sauce where you may not want to do this. Bayou Bourré Louisiana Boil sauce is a good example. So here’s what I recommend. Taste the sauce. If you love it out of the bottle (and you will), just pour it on your wings. No need to add butter. But if you want a little buttery flavor (ala classic Buffalo wing flavors), add a little. Not a lot. Heat it and melt it and stir. Taste. Good? Put it on your wings. Want more butter? Go for it.
There’s no wrong here. This sauce makes for amazing wings no matter if you add butter or not.

Bayou Bourre Louisiana Boil Wings
Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
For the sauce (see recipe)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Bayou Gotham Bayou Bourre Louisiana Boil Hot Sauce
Instructions
- Note: You may want to use less butter than the recipe calls for. I suggest you start by just heating the hot sauce by itself. Add a small amount of butter, if desired. Say 1 tablespoon. Melt, stir and taste. Add more butter if desired.
- To make the sauce, combine the butter and hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted. Keep warm until ready to use.
- Toss wings in sauce. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.
