Ingredient Substitution
Nothing will add as much spice and flavor to your dishes as this Hooters Spicy Garlic Sauce. And once you try it, you might like to experiment with the ingredients. Or you may not have all of the ingredients on hand.
That’s why we’ve gathered some of the substitutions to consider for the Spicy Garlic Sauce.
Soy sauce
What is the number one substitute that comes to mind for replacing the Worcestershire sauce? Soy sauce since it is very similar to Worcestershire.
Use an equal part of soy sauce. The taste will be slightly different since the soy sauce doesn’t have the same tartness or spice as the Worcestershire sauce. However, plenty of sweetness and umami make up for it.
Even better, try it out with tamari soy sauce if you have some.
Cornstarch
You will most likely think of cornstarch whenever you hear corn flour—since these two are very similar. Still, they are not precisely the same thing.
While they have the same consistency, there is a little downside: cornstarch and corn flour don’t compare in flavor.
So if you decide to use the former, you need to consider some seasoning before adding cornstarch. Other than that, use it in a 1:1 ratio.
Avocado oil
Avocado oil continues to rise in the rating of healthiest oils. That’s also what makes olive oil and avocado oil very similar.
Moreover, avocado oil has a crazy high smoke point, making it perfect for this spicy garlic sauce. It also has a buttery taste, so it’s even more flavorful than olive oil. Try it out to add some smokiness and flavors to your sauce.
What to Serve with Hooters Spicy Garlic Sauce
The Spicy Garlic Sauce has generally used on chicken wings so that pairing is quite apparent. However, it doesn’t stop there, and we recommend pairing it with any other ordinary meal you want to take to the next level.
This garlic sauce has a spicy kick that will make anything irresistible for all foodies.
Try the following pairings to tingle your taste buds.
Mac and cheese
Could there be anything better than a good old mac and cheese seasoned with spicy garlic sauce? Believe us—there is not, as the savory sauce kicks off the gooey macaroni.
However, try adding the garlic sauce at the end rather than cooking your macaroni. You can also try adding some sauce when mixing the cheese.
Any way you try, using garlic sauce here is an easy way to spruce up some basic macaroni and cheese.
Turkey Sandwich
Another tasty pairing for the Hooters Spicy Garlic Sauce is a turkey sandwich. It is an unusual way to make an everyday sandwich taste even better. Just spread some spicy garlic sauce after toasting a slice of bread or drizzle some drops on top.
The only thing to mind is that the sauce should be kept cold. So, if you like a warm sandwich, heat the sauce in the microwave first. This special garlic sauce will add extra flavor and spice to your sandwich.
It also pairs well with the avocado or toast egg sandwich if you want to try it out.
Potato soup
Soup is probably the last thing you’ll expect to see on this list of Spicy Garlic Sauce pairings. Still, it could use some spicy sauce for an extra kick of flavors.
Add how much you feel is right into the bowl, or pour in some of it while cooking your potato soup. This way, the sauce will blend nicely, and the spice will spread out better. Serve your soup hot—in both temperature and spices—and enjoy.
How to Store Hooters Spicy Garlic Sauce
Even though this Hooters Spicy Garlic Sauce has a decent shelf life, how long it lasts will depend on how you store it, particularly whether it is stored opened or unopened.
Also, since our spicy garlic sauce has no artificial preservatives found in many commercial bottled sauces, its shelf life is shortened.
So, let’s see what you can do to make it last the longest.
Store Hooters Spicy Garlic Sauce in the Fridge
One thing you should remember about the homemade spicy garlic sauce is that it has to be refrigerated. While some might suggest you keep it in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, you should store it in the fridge if you want to preserve it for longer.
Just use a clean airtight container, and you are good to go. It will help the sauce last for about 2-3 months. But if you notice any signs of degradation, just whip up a new batch.
Store Hooters Spicy Garlic Sauce in the Freezer
You don’t want moisture to accumulate on the container’s lid before storing the spicy garlic sauce in a freezer. Guaranteed that even Hooters ensures it is completely cooled before putting the container into their commercial freezer.
Store Hooters Spicy Garlic Sauce in the freezer for up to 6 months and let it thaw in the fridge before using. Heating it a little once out of the refrigerator will make it taste like day one.
