Substitutions
Butter - If you substitute unsalted butter, simply add 1/4 teaspoon to the sauce.

Lemon Juice - Freshly squeezed or 100% lemon juice in a bottle.
Coarse Black Pepper - Substitute with red pepper if you want to spice it up.

For Chicken Wings
To add this sauce to your baked or fried chicken wings, you can work in a variety of ways:
Brush the sauce over each wing individually with a silicone sauce brush.
Dunk each wing into a bowl of the sauce for full coverage.
You can also use this sauce as a dip for wings instead of the traditional coating!
