Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Spoon for stirring
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Airtight container for storage

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup orange marmalade
  • 1 cup Heinz chili sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Hennessy cognac
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp. liquid smoke
  • Salt to taste
  • Your favorite hot sauce to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients except salt and hot sauce.
  • Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
  • Remove from heat and add salt and hot sauce to taste.
  • Let the sauce cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • To use the sauce, marinate or dip chicken wings or any other dish of your choice. Cook the wings until crispy and fully cooked, using a gas grill, slow cooker, air fryer, or any cooking method of your choice.

Notes

  • For a sweeter and thicker sauce, you can add more sugar or reduce the amount of vinegar.
  • For a spicier sauce, you can add more cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce to taste.
  • You can also use this sauce as a base for other BBQ sauce variations, by adding different spices, herbs, or ingredients of your choice.
  • Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Serve the sauce with blue cheese or ranch dressing, or use it as a dipping sauce for finger food or game-day party appetizers.
