I did not make the pepper sauce-I subbed Tapatio hot sauce mixed with a few other hots sauces to add more spice (about 1 1/2 cups). The sauce was sweet and spicy. I did not fry the wings as well. Just baked with flour, s and p, cayanne pepper and paprika, 30 minutes added the simmered sauce, baked 10 min, flipped and added more sauce. I will make this again.
