Chicken wing sauce

Filed Under: Seasonal Summer, Tomatoes, Tracklements Tagged With: Sauces, Tomatoes

chicken-wing-sauce-pn2

This home-canned chicken wing sauce is a good first step towards making healthier pub and bar-style food at home.

You may wish to try it with browned chicken tenders (breast strips) instead of wings to make it even healthier.

The recipe writers suggest, “Spoon the ready-to-use sauce over browned chicken pieces and simmer or bake until done.”

Match those sauced-up chicken tenders up with some baked fries or hot air fries (yes, there is such a thing, we kid you not), some home-made oven-baked or air-fried onion rings, a salad with some home-made low-cal ranch on it, and, of course, a pint or glass of your favourite tipple along with a good movie on the tube and you are good to go for party night in that’s easy on the budget AND waistline.

But of course, it’s ALL about the wing sauce, and this is a finger-lickin’ one!

Reference information

How to water bath process.

How to steam can.

When water-bath canning or steam canning, you must adjust the processing time for your altitude.

For salt substitute, non-bitter, non-clouding Herbamare Sodium-Free was used.

For stevia, Better Stevia liquid stevia was the stevia used.

Australia and New Zealand vinegar strength special notes.

Recipe notes

  • For the tomatoes, you will need to start with 3 kg (6.5 lbs) of whole tomatoes. That’s about 15 Roma-type tomatoes.
  • You could start with 2 ½ litres of canned tomato (crushed or diced, home-canned or purchased) instead.
  • The book says, “If you prefer a sauce with more ‘heat’, feel free to add 2 to 3 tablespoons of your favourite hot sauce along with the vinegar and spices.”
  • This is an ideal mixture to use a heat diffuser with during the second hour-long simmering phase to avoid bottom scorching.
