Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon regular mustard yellow or brown
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce adjust to your desired heat level
  • 1 teaspoon honey for a touch of sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to your heat preference
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Gather Your Ingredients: Make sure you have all the ingredients ready.
  • Melt The Butter: In a small saucepan or microwave, melt the unsalted butter until it’s completely liquid. Allow it to cool slightly.
  • Mix The Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, melted butter, Dijon mustard, regular mustard, hot sauce, honey, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Season And Taste: Add a pinch of salt and some black pepper to taste. Keep in mind that both the mayonnaise and mustard may already contain some salt, so go easy at first and adjust later if needed.
  • Adjust Heat: Taste the sauce and adjust the heat level to your preference by adding more hot sauce or cayenne pepper if necessary. If you prefer it milder, you can skip the cayenne pepper altogether.
  • Chill And Serve: Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This sauce is best when it’s slightly chilled.
  • Enjoy: Drizzle your homemade hot chicken sauce over fried chicken, sandwiches, burgers, or any other dish that could use a spicy kick.
