Hooters Spicy Garlic Sauce Recipe

This spicy garlic sauce from Hooters packs a serious punch, and I make sure to keep extra on hand!
The key is balancing heat with just the right amount of butter to give it that signature texture.
Fresh garlic makes all the difference, so skip the jarred stuff and mince up a few cloves for the best result.
A splash of vinegar at the end brings everything together and keeps the heat from overpowering everything else.
This sauce is incredible on wings, but I also brush it on grilled shrimp and even drizzle it over roasted potatoes.
If you like a little extra heat, add a dash of cayenne or an extra swirl of hot sauce before serving!
