Ingredients

2/3 cup hot sauce I used Frank's Red Hot
1/2 cup butter unsalted
1 1/2 Tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a small to medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
Allow the butter to melt completely, whisking until smooth and creamy.
Use immediately or store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to one month. *Note: sauce will solidify when cold. Heat it gently in a small saucepan or in the microwave before using.
