🥘Ingredients

For the Hot Sauce

1 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2Add the hot sauce, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
3Stir continuously until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is well combined.

5You will see the butter completely dissolve into the sauce.
