Are you ready to add a touch of sweet and spicy magic to your dishes? Look no further than hot honey sauce! This delectable condiment balances the natural sweetness of honey with a fiery kick of heat.
In a small saucepan, pour the honey and add the hot sauce. Choose a hot sauce that suits your spice tolerance, such as sriracha, Frank's RedHot, or your personal favorite. Stir well to ensure the honey and hot sauce are thoroughly combined.
Next, add the apple cider vinegar to the saucepan. The vinegar will add a tangy note that complements the sweetness and heat of the sauce. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
For those seeking an extra fiery kick, sprinkle in red pepper flakes. This optional addition will intensify the heat level of your sauce. Stir gently to distribute the flakes throughout the mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This simmering process helps the flavors meld together and allows the sauce to reduce slightly, resulting in a thicker consistency.
