Almond butter (from Whole Foods, fresh ground) does not work for this recipe. This made a thick unspreadable paste.
Mark’s Daily Apple says that butter is acceptable so you probably don’t even need to use almond butter as a substitute.
I made this last night with store bought almond butter and it worked fine. Great flavor for wings…
What kind of hot pepper sauce should you use?
I can’t find anything specifically called hot pepper sauce.
Well, I ended up using Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce and boy was it good! Spicy, yes, but very good! My husband asked to have these wings for football games. I did use the fresh almond butter from Whole Foods and did find it a little thick. Be sure to give it time to at least get pretty soft in the sauce pan. I stirred it on low constantly until it looked soft enough to easily spread. Used “drumettes” which I assumed were wings since that’s what they look like at hot wing places. The recipe only made enough for one meal for two people – about 6 each. Also only needed about 5 minutes of basting on each side. The side of Indian Coleslaw was just the trick to cool off the spicy flavor. Great one!
