yeah tabasco is rubbish, here we make our own hotsauce - hawaiian chilli peppers, salt, water (sometimes vinegar) in a bottle, let it steep a couple weeks. hawaiian chilli peppers have some serious scovilles, one the size of a small jellybean will make a gallon and a half of chilli con carne pour sweat from your brow.A friend once told me "tabasco is great, if you want your food to taste like shit and still not be spicy" and I'm inclined to agree. That said, I use equal parts butter and franks for my sauce and maybe some pepper and it turns out pretty sweet. I've used the allrecipes/food.com (don't remember which) hooters wings recipe plenty of times with great success. If you like them breaded, leaving them in the breading overnight seems to really help.
Alton has a video about steaming your wings but I haven't tried it.
Speaking of condiments, Guam has a nice oneFinadene, they serve it on the side with everything, it's there version of Salsa. It's addictive. As the locals say 'gotta slice it thin" when making it.
Also Mae Ploy, sweet, sour and a wee bit of spice. I use it for salad dressing, in tuna salad, over cottage cheese as a component in stir fry sauces. good stuf.
