Ingredients
  

  • Butter
  • Hot Sauce
  • Honey
  • Garlic Powder
  • Smoked Paprika
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salt & Pepper: To taste.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Melt the Butter

Step 2: Add the Hot Sauce

  • Once the butter melts, pour in your hot sauce and whisk well. The two should blend smoothly without separating.

Step 3: Sweeten the Deal

  • Stir in the honey. Watch how it swirls and glistens. Let it bubble for a minute or two. That’s when the flavors start mingling

Step 4: Season & Simmer

  • Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk again and let the sauce simmer on low for about 5 minutes.

Step 5: Taste & Adjust

  • Give it a little taste. Too spicy? Add a bit more honey. Too sweet? A dash more hot sauce fixes that. Trust your palate you’re the boss here.
