A professional-grade wing sauce that perfectly balances the heat of chipotles and Frank's Red Hot with the floral sweetness of honey.
Place the chipotle peppers (with their adobo sauce) and the chopped garlic into a food processor. Pulse and then blend until completely smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, and yellow mustard until the honey is fully incorporated.
Add the pureed chipotle and garlic mixture to the bowl with the honey and hot sauce. Whisk vigorously until the color is uniform.
Transfer half of the sauce base back into the food processor. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of the hot melted butter in a thin stream to create an emulsion. Repeat with the second half of the sauce and the remaining butter.
The butter must be hot to emulsify properly with the cold ingredients.
Combine both batches back together in a large container and give it one final whisk to ensure total consistency. Store in a syrup dispenser or airtight jar.
This is a bold, sweet, and smoky sauce that works fantastic on wings, ribs, or even as a glaze for grilled salmon. The key is the emulsion—adding that hot melted butter slowly while the processor is running ensures a silky, thick texture that clings to your food. Inspired by professional kitchen batch prep.
