- 1/2 cup hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot is a great choice)

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
Melt the butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from browning.

Notes
- Mild Version: Use less hot sauce or switch to a milder hot sauce variety like Tabasco Sweet & Spicy for a less fiery version.
- Sweet & Spicy: Add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the sauce for a sweet twist that complements the heat.
- Garlic Parmesan: Add grated Parmesan cheese and extra garlic to the sauce for a garlic parmesan version of the sauce.
- Extra Spicy: Add a dash of extra cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to intensify the heat.
