Equipment

  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Small Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp Butter unsalted, if possible
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tbsp Hot sauce make sure it's vinegar-based
  • Salt just enough to suit your taste

Instructions
 

  • Put the butter in the pot on medium-low heat until it melts.
  • Once melted, add the honey and hot sauce. Sprinkle in some salt if you like.
  • Let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes until it gets a little thicker.
  • Taste it to see if you need to add more seasoning. If yes, go ahead and adjust it, then serve.

Notes

  • If you don't like things too spicy, just use 1 tbsp of hot sauce or even less, depending on your taste.
  • Keep the sauce in a closed container in the fridge, like a glass jar with a lid. It should stay good for about a week.
  • I wouldn't recommend freezing this sauce because it might not be the same when you thaw it out.
  • If you prefer, you can use salted butter and skip adding extra salt.
