Gatekeeper's Honey Hot Glaze Sauce

Gatekeeper’s Honey Hot Glaze Sauce

for chicken and fish

·        ¾  - 1 cup Honey

·        1TBL soy sauce

·        1TBL Franks’s Red Hot / or Wing Sauce (or other hot sauce you choose)

·        1 TBL apple cider vinegar

·        ½ tsp dry ground mustard 

·        2 TBL brown sugar

·       1 tsp red pepper flakes (or something equivalent)

·        2 cloves fresh chopped garlic

·        ½ tsp fresh ground pepper

·        2 or 3 frozen cubes (ice cube size) of fresh lime juice (or orange juice) ¼ to ½ cup

·        ¼ cup a good white wine (Grower’s Reserve Sauvignon Blanc) from Trader Joe’s is an excellent organic wine from the San Joaquin Valley in CA.

I use my Braun hand held blender (you can use a blender, but it dirties one more dish). Blend everything well, and simmer in a small sauce pan on med-low heat for about 20-30 min to reduce the sauce and intensify flavors.  Let it cool….baste chicken toward the end of grilling (last 6 minutes). Baste again when taking it off the grill.  Use some on basmati rice, if serving with your protein. This is not an exact recipe. I didn't measure anything exactly, but this gives you a way to make your own sweet hot  glaze/sauce that is so much better than those you buy.
