    Easy and interesting sauce. I think much depends on the marmalade and hoisin sauce you use and whether you like marmalade in the first place...

    This was very good BUT I would highly recommend you taste it before adding the soy sauce. (By the way the video and the recipe on his website calls for a TEASPOON of soy sauce not a tablespoon.) If your Asian chili pepper sauce has a lot of salt like mine does you won't want - Read more ...

    I cooked the chicken wings my usual way- barely seasoned and naked on a lipped cookie sheet in the oven at 425 for about an hour. Then I made this sauce and tossed the wings. I made it basically EXACTLY as stated except used half the amount of sriracha- for the kids sake (but we - Read more ...

    I made this to serve on grilled chicken. Once the chicken was almost finished I glazed it with the wing sauce. Tastes great on a dinner salad!

    This was a good alternative to chicken wings. Wasn't as spicy as I thought they would be. Probably needed to add more chile pepper sauce. I will definitely try this again.

    I was asked to make chicken wings for 2012 Superbowl party. I'd never made them before, nor paid attention to them at other parties. I found this video by Chef John & made them off the video directions, replaying it several times to get the gist. (2nd time see recipe) In the sauce, I also - Read more ...

    Great recipe...I added 4 cloves of fresh garlic. I think what really makes this over the top is...what you do to the chicken before the sauce. Seasoning the chicken before they go in the oven is key. I use, cayenne pepper, tex mex seasoning, montreal steak spice, salt & pepper and chinese five spice seasoning. - Read more ...
