Notes

  • Prep Ahead Instructions:
  • This sauce can be entirely made a few days or even a week before you need it.
  • Storage Directions:
  • Place in an airtight container or glass mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. To freeze, seal in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 6 months.
  • Recipe Tips
  • Recipe yields 1 cup of sauce.
  • Nutritional information is for 1 tablespoon of sauce and is calculated without honey.
  • A vegan butter substitute can be used to make this recipe dairy-free and vegan.
  • ½ teaspoon of garlic powder can be substituted for the fresh garlic.
  • Pick your favorite. Choose a hot sauce you love the flavor of since it makes up the majority of the sauce!
  • Adjust to taste. Sprinkle in just a little salt at a time until you reach your desired results.
  • Heat it up. Melted butter mixes with the other ingredients better than softened.
  • Add more kick. Mix in cayenne pepper for an extra spicy sauce.
