Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Popping corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Place 2-3 popcorn kernels into the pot, cover with a lid, and wait until they pop to test that the oil is hot enough.
Once the test kernels pop, remove them and add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover with the lid, leaving it slightly ajar to let steam escape.
Shake the pot occasionally to prevent kernels from burning. Keep cooking until the popping slows to 1 pop every few seconds. Remove from heat and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the hot sauce, honey, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until well combined and heated through.
Pour the buffalo sauce mixture over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat all kernels evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Hot Buffalo Popcorn!
