Questions on how to make these sticky chicken wings?
Does the sauce taste like Guinness? Actually it doesn't really but you can taste that it's not regular BBQ sauce. I think It has a deep malty flavor.

Why does my meat burn when I add sauce to it? BBQ sauce contains a lot of sugar and sugar will burn quickly. When you're grilling anything that you plan to brush with sauce, wait until the last five minutes to add the sauce. and turn the meat or seafood over a few times after each brush with sauce.
Does the sauce need to be refrigerated? Yes it does, it can be left out for up to 2 hours but then it should be sealed in a container and stored in the fridge.
