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

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small to medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Allow the butter to melt completely, whisking until smooth and creamy.
  3. 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.
