Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup bourbon
- ⅓ cup Frank’s hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Start by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. This base will carry all the flavors beautifully.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients, blending them together until they’re happily acquainted.
- Bring your concoction to a light simmer. Here’s where the magic starts to happen as the flavors meld together.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low again, letting it cook and thicken slightly for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Finally, toss this glorious sauce with your chosen vehicle—be it wings, tofu, or cauliflower—and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
Notes
- For those with a fiery palate, feel free to adjust the cayenne pepper to your liking. It’s all about finding that perfect heat level for you.
- The bourbon not only adds depth and complexity but also ensures that, if you have leftovers, they won’t freeze solid due to the alcohol content. Just store it in a well-sealed container.
- Experimenting with the honey types can subtly alter the flavor profile, making this sauce truly your own.
