Step 1

In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter over low heat.

Step 2

Once the butter has melted, add 1/4 cup of hot sauce, 1-2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper (adjust to desired heat), 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of paprika to the saucepan.

Step 3

Stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.

Step 4

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more cayenne for heat or a bit more vinegar for tanginess.

Step 5

Once your sauce is ready, toss it with crispy wings, fries, or use it as a dipping sauce for a bold, spicy flavor.
