Step 1

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the hot sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.

Step 2

Whisk often as the butter melts and allow the mixture to come to a simmer.

Step 3

Once the sauce comes to a simmer, remove the pan from the heat.

Step 4

Allow the sauce to cool slightly. Add a dash or two of salt, to taste.

Step 5

The sauce will thicken as it cools. Whisk the sauce before serving over wings, on pulled pork or as a dipping sauce.

Step 6

Refrigerate any leftovers. As you refrigerate the mixture, some of the butter may separate and harden. Simply reheat the mixture on the stovetop or microwave to make the sauce smooth again.

Step 7

This mixture makes enough to cover 5 pounds of wings and have extra for dipping. Yields about 3 cups of sauce.
