Recipe Tips
-
- Pick your favorite. Choose a hot sauce you love the flavor of since it makes up the majority of the sauce!
- Adjust to taste. Sprinkle in just a little salt at a time until you reach your desired results.
- Heat it up. Melted butter mixes with the other ingredients better than softened.
- Add more kick. Mix in cayenne pepper for an extra spicy sauce.
