US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Mix: In a small bowl, stir ¼ cup honey and 2 to 3 teaspoons Franks Red Hot sauce until smooth. Add red pepper flakes to taste, if using.

Notes

Hot Sauce: Frank’s RedHot Original is my go-to. Otherwise, use another thin, vinegar-forward Louisiana-style hot sauce, such as Crystal or Louisiana. Start with less hot sauce, taste, then add more as desired. For even more heat, add red pepper flakes instead of too much extra hot sauce, which can thin the honey.
Serving Suggestions: Drizzle over pizza, whipped feta or ricotta, crispy halloumi, roasted vegetables, sandwiches, or cheese boards. Or serve as a dip.
Storage: When made with Frank’s RedHot Original, store in a clean, airtight container at room temperature. Frank’s says its Original hot sauce doesn’t need refrigeration after opening. If using another hot sauce, check its label for storage instructions. If the honey crystallizes, gently warm the container in hot—not boiling—water until pourable again.
Yield: Makes about 5 tablespoons.
