Ingredients

Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of hot sauce, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and salt to taste.
- In a medium saucepan, add the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Place the saucepan over low heat to allow the butter to melt slowly without burning.
- Once the butter is fully melted, carefully add the 1 cup of hot sauce to the saucepan. Stir the mixture gently with a wooden spoon or whisk to combine the butter and hot sauce thoroughly.
- Add the 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the saucepan. This will enhance the flavor and add a tangy note to your wing sauce. Stir well to incorporate.
- Next, sprinkle in the 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. These spices will add depth and heat to the sauce. Stir continuously to ensure even distribution of the spices.
- Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors meld together beautifully.
- After simmering, taste the sauce and add salt to taste. Start with a small pinch and adjust according to your preference.
- Once the sauce is well combined and seasoned to your liking, remove the saucepan from heat. Let it cool slightly before transferring to a serving container.
- Your wing sauce is now ready to be used! It can be tossed with cooked chicken wings or served as a dipping sauce. Enjoy your homemade wing sauce!
