Everyone wants this 7th grader's secret wing sauce recipe

WATCH: Everyone wants this 7th grader's secret wing sauce recipe

A 12-year-old girl has been bottling her own wing sauce while in quarantine, and the results are a hit.

A'Jzala Johnson of Luling, Louisiana, has a top secret recipe that her customers wish they could get their hands on. When the pandemic hit, the 12-year-old began experimenting. That's when BabyJay's Wing Sauce was born.

"She's a big fan of hot wings, and she loves to cook," Alicia told "Good Morning America." "She says, 'I don't want anyone to steal my recipe, mama.' She does not give the recipe out."

After she completed remote learning, A'Jzala got busy in the kitchen. Johnson said grandma is her daughter's go-to when it comes to cooking advice.

A'Jzala sold 40 5-ounce bottles on her first day, through Facebook and word of mouth. She recently started offering gallon jugs for $25. If customers choose to mix BabyJay's Wing Sauce's two flavors, the price is $30 a gallon.

A'Jzala's venture has even expanded outside of Louisiana, to places like Chicago, Atlanta and parts of Texas.

"Once I get big, big I want to have a food truck and I want to start my own business," A'Jzala told "GMA."

Johnson thinks the sauce's popularity comes from its mysterious, tangy flavor.
