  • 1 tablespoon light margarine ICBINB

  • Meanwhile, melt margarine in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes
  • Add in the seasonings, brown sugar, and honey and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and add in the buffalo sauce and water. Stir until thickened, about 2-3 minutes
