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.
