How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Combine the hot sauce, distilled white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce, distilled white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt.

  2. Place the saucepan

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while whisking continuously.

    3 min

  3. Reduce the heat to low

    Once simmering, reduce the heat to low. Gradually add the cold, cubed butter one or two pieces at a time, whisking constantly until each piece is fully melted and incorporated before adding more.

    5 min

  4. As soon as all the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth and thickened

    As soon as all the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth and thickened, remove from heat immediately to prevent the sauce from breaking.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the most authentic flavor, use a cayenne-based hot sauce like Frank's RedHot. Whisking the butter in slowly at the end is the key to a smooth, emulsified sauce.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

The sauce can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator. It will solidify when cold.

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator. Reheat very gently on low heat while whisking to re-emulsify the butter; do not let it boil or the sauce will separate.
