Sweet Home Hurricane Wings

Sticky • Tangy • Sweet Heat

These Sweet Home Hurricane Wings bring bold, game-day energy with a glossy, sweet-heat glaze inspired by classic hurricane flavors. Instead of smoky barbecue, this sauce leans bright and punchy—layering Sweet Home Red Muscadine Juice with heat, citrus, and a touch of Southern sweetness for wings that are sticky, vibrant, and impossible to ignore.

Perfect for watch parties, tailgates, or anytime you want wings with attitude.
