Scale

Base Ingredients for the Signature Flavor

    • ½ cup Frank’s Red Hot sauce – The essential hot sauce that gives the sauce its signature heat and tang.

    • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted) – Adds a rich, smooth texture and helps balance the spiciness.

Ingredients for Extra Tang and Depth

    • 1 tablespoon white vinegar – Enhances the tanginess and acidity.

    • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce – Adds a deep, umami flavor that rounds out the heat.

Seasonings for Boldness

    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder – Gives the sauce a mild, savory depth.

    • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika – Adds a subtle smokiness to complement the heat.

    • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) – Boosts the heat for those who love extra spice.

    • Salt to taste – Balances and enhances all the flavors.

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Butter

    • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until smooth.

    • Avoid overheating to prevent separation.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

    • Whisk in Frank’s Red Hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.

    • Stir continuously until fully combined.

Step 3: Simmer for Enhanced Flavor

    • Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    • This helps the flavors blend while keeping the sauce smooth.

Step 4: Adjust Seasoning to Taste

    • Taste the sauce and adjust salt or spice levels if needed.

    • If you prefer a milder sauce, add an extra tablespoon of butter.

Step 5: Let It Rest Before Using

    • Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly before tossing with wings or using as a dip.
