Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Do not let it brown.
Once the butter is melted, add Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce to the pan and stir well to combine.
Add the white vinegar, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt to the pan. Stir to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Increase the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust the salt or cayenne pepper to your preference, if necessary.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Toss with freshly fried or baked chicken wings to coat them evenly, or store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
