Ingredients
1 cup cayenne pepper hot sauce
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
1. Add the butter to a small saucepan and melt it over low heat.
2. Whisk in the hot sauce until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
3. Add the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper.
4. Whisk everything together and warm the sauce over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes without letting it boil.
5. Taste and adjust the heat or salt if needed.
6. Serve warm over wings, chicken tenders, sandwiches, fries, or vegetables.
Notes
Use low heat the entire time so the butter stays emulsified and the sauce does not separate.
For a milder version, reduce the cayenne pepper or add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of butter.
