Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for a slight sweetness)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t brown.

Step 2

Once the butter has melted completely, add the hot sauce and stir well to combine.

Step 3

Mix in the white vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Stir to incorporate all the spices evenly.

Step 4

If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add the honey and stir until dissolved.

Step 5

Increase the heat slightly to medium-low and simmer the sauce gently for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or cayenne for desired spice level.

Step 7

Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool for a minute or two.

Step 8

Toss freshly fried or baked chicken wings in the warm sauce until coated evenly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
