Recipe
Combine hot sauce, butter, honey, red-pepper flakes, garlic, cumin, oregano, basil, thyme, curry powder and cayenne in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring often, until butter is melted and incorporated into the sauce. Let cool.

Note: The cooks at Mangia use rounded measures for the dry herbs and spices. The high sodium count is due to the hot sauce.
Testers' note: This recipe makes enough sauce for 2 servings of wings as Mangia Italiano presents them. For wings without a lot of extra sauce, this recipe will coat 4 to 5 pounds.
