Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Do not let it brown.
- Add hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic powder, cayenne (if using), and salt. Whisk until fully combined.
- Let the sauce simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend the flavors.
- Taste and adjust seasoning—more hot sauce for spice, more butter for milder flavor.
- Toss with freshly cooked chicken wings or use as a dipping sauce for tenders, veggies, or fries.
Notes
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat gently before using.
- Great for cauliflower wings, sandwiches, and burgers too.
