Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce I like Encona or Franks
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a bowl.
    4 tablespoons honey, 2 teaspoons hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Stir with a spoon until it is fully mixed together.
  • Enjoy as a dip, coating on chicken, or a sauce on burgers.

Notes

  • Heat level: Adjust the chili flakes or hot sauce to dial the spice up or down.
  • Honey: Use good-quality local honey for the best flavor and texture.
  • Stir well: Make sure everything is fully blended so it doesn’t separate later.
  • Serving temp: Room temperature is best for drizzling or dipping.
 

Storage instructions

  • Use a jar: Store in a glass jar or airtight container for best results.
  • Shelf life: Keeps well for up to 3 weeks at room temp, or longer in the fridge.
  • No double-dipping: Always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination.
