Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat, ensuring it does not brown.
Once the butter is melted, add the hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined and smooth.
Cook the mixture over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using.
Serve warm as a coating for chicken wings, a dip for veggies, or as a flavorful drizzle for your favorite dishes.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.
