WHY IT WORKS

• Proprietary Cling: The sauce is thickened with modified corn starch to ensure it "sticks" to the wings, providing better coverage and a more appealing plate presentation.

• Balanced Tangy Heat: Delivers a classic "Medium" spice level that combines the sharp zip of vinegar with the warmth of cayenne peppers.

• Versatile Kitchen Tool: While designed for wings, its smooth texture makes it an excellent base for "Buffalo" style dips, wraps, and spicy poutines.

• Consistency in Every Batch: Ed Smith Saucemaker is known for high-quality standards, ensuring the heat and flavor profile remains identical from the first jug to the last.

• Labor Efficiency: Ready to use straight from the jug, saving your kitchen team the time and effort of mixing butter and hot sauce from scratch.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How hot is "2nd Degree" compared to other sauces? It is a true "Medium." It provides more heat than a mild sauce but is much less intense than the habanero-fueled 3rd Degree. It is designed to be the most popular heat level on a standard menu.

Can this sauce be used for cold applications? Yes. Because it is pre-thickened, it holds its consistency well even when used cold in wraps or as a dip for vegetables.

Does it contain dairy? Based on the provided ingredients, this sauce is dairy-free. Unlike many Buffalo sauces that use butter, this version uses a tomato and vinegar base for its tang and texture.

How should I store the jug once opened? To maintain peak flavor and color, we recommend refrigerating the jug after opening. Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent the sauce from drying out.

Is this sauce gluten-free? While the ingredients (corn starch) are naturally gluten-free, we always recommend checking the physical label for the manufacturer's specific allergen statements regarding their production facility.

How many wings does one jug cover? Depending on your tossing method, one 3.7 L jug can comfortably sauce between 250 and 350 wings (approximately 25–30 lbs of chicken).
