- Honey– Adding a bit of honey to this wing sauce totally enhances the flavors! The sweetness of the honey blends so well with the spicy kick from the hot sauce. Adding honey is totally optional!
- Flavors– I like to add some garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt to this sauce to add additional flavors.
