HONEY HOT SAUCE

Maple & Ash is an upscale steak house around the corner from us in Chicago and they serve a honey chili dipping sauce with their fried chicken. I love the sweet and spicy combination so concocted my own version that is so easy it probably doesn't even qualify as a recipe. Try it with fried chicken and I think you'll love it.

Notes

KTINA's TIPS

This is basically 2 parts honey to 1 part hot sauce, so use proportions according to your crowd.
This will keep for several weeks in an airtight container or jar. I suggest keeping in your pantry and not the refrigerator, as the honey will crystallize in the refrigerator.
I like the tang of Frank's Hot Sauce (plus it is available in a large bottle, since it's the original Buffalo Wing hot sauce), but feel free to experiment with other hot sauces that you like. There are endless options, but you may need to adjust the proportions depending on the heat so as not to overpower the honey and allow some sweetness to come through.
