Buttery Buffalo Popcorn
It's spicy, tangy, and just a little bit sweet; a flavor profile I picked up from an iconic local dive bar that's known for their sweet take on buffalo wings. That little hint of sweetness calms down the spice and gives that addictive sweet-and-salty quality that you just can't get enough of.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce recommended: Frank’s Red Hot
- 4 tablespoons (plus 1 tablespoon) salted butter divided
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup popcorn kernels
Notes
- Baking the popcorn in the oven allows it to dry out a bit and helps the seasoning to adhere. This step can be omitted if desired, however it will result in a wetter consistency. For a spicier popcorn, add ¼-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper and if using unsalted butter, add ¼ teaspoon of salt to the sauce.
