What ingredients are required to make hot honey sauce?
Ingredients needed to make a spicy hot honey sauce recipe are mentioned below.
- 1 cup honey: Honey provides a sweet base that balances out the heat from the peppers.
- 3 dried peppers: Dried peppers bring smoky, earthy heat. They add a more complex and deep flavor when simmered.
- 4 fresh small chilli peppers: Fresh peppers provide immediate sharp heat and fresh chili aroma.
3 steps to make hot honey sauce recipe
- Cut three dried peppers and four fresh small chilli peppers on a cutting board.
- Add the peppers and chillies to a medium saucepan. Turn the heat to medium and add 1 cup honey. Gently stir and bring to a bare simmer, but don’t boil. When it barely starts to boil, turn the heat low and let the sauce cook for about 20-30 minutes to infuse spicy and chilli aromas. Increase the quantity of peppers if you don’t feel it is spicy and hot enough.
- Now, remove the pan from the stove and pour the mixture into a jar with the help of a strainer. Serve with chicken wings, roasted turkey, chicken meatballs, marble beef, and meatloaf.
FAQ’s
Can I adjust the spice level in the hot honey sauce recipe?
Yes, for a milder spice level in spicy and hot honey sauce, use fewer chilies, add more honey, and remove seeds. To make the sauce extra spicy, add more fresh/dried peppers or include varieties like Thai chili, habanero, or ghost pepper.
How long does hot honey sauce last?
Hot honey sauce can be stored in a sterilized jar for up to 3 months in a cool, dark place. I don’t recommend refrigerating it, as honey can solidify or harden.
