Expert Tips
This super simple recipe for hot honey is pretty much impossible to mess up. That said, I have a few words of wisdom to share:
- Optional Add-Ins - Feel free to customize your hot honey sauce by adding a bit more pizzaz in the form of a splash of vinegar (apple cider vinegar is my favorite) or vinegary hot sauce, fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, or even by switching up which types of chiles you use.
- Storage - Since honey stays good nearly indefinitely, you can keep this honey hot sauce at room temperature for 6 months or longer so long as it’s in an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dark spot in the kitchen for best results. Also, I highly recommend keeping it in a squeeze bottle for easy dispensing.
- To Make It Spicier - Simply add more chiles, spicier chiles, and/or let it steep without straining the chiles out at the end.
- To Make It Milder - Add more honey.
