Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter Note 1
  • ½ cup (170 g) raw honey
  • 2-3 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce Note 2
  • ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the honey, hot sauce, and salt and stir to combine. Cook the sauce for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes

Note 1: You can use salted butter and skip the salt.
Note 2: Choose vinegar-based hot sauce, such as Crystal, Louisiana Hot Sauce, Frank’s RedHot). First, the acidity balances the sweetness, creating more balanced flavor. Also vinegar-based hot sauces are usually thin and pourable, making them easy to blend into honey.
Storing Tips: 
- Store leftover hot honey sauce in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
