RESTAURANT STYLE WING AND RIB SAUCE
This sauce tastes similar to the sauce used on the sticky fingers at one of my favorite restaurants. It is easy to make and has endless possibilities for modification. Try adding a bit of cinnamon or cloves to it. Honey is used to thicken the sauce, but isn't necessary. If not using the honey, just use extra brown sugar.
