You can substitute apple cider vinegar for a milder taste or use olive oil instead of regular oil for a healthier option. This sauce pairs beautifully with grilled meats, so brush it on chicken wings, parts, or breasts just before serving. You can also adjust the seasoning to your preference by adding more pepper or even a touch of honey for sweetness.
