Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
See the complete list of ingredients on the recipe card below.
- Honey: I love 100% organic raw and unfiltered honey, but do not serve it to children under the age of one or people with compromised immune systems.
- Hot sauce: I use Frank’s RedHot sauce, but you can use your favorite. Do a little research to see if your hot sauce needs refrigeration. If so, then refrigerate the honey hot sauce in an airtight container.
- Apple cider vinegar: As a substitute, you can use white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar.
