Making your own hot honey is super simple and much more affordable than buying it premade. Plus, you get to control exactly how spicy it is! Use it in any recipe that calls for honey to add an extra kick. Stir it into mayo, ranch, or yogurt for a spicy twist on your sauces. Brush it over grilled shrimp, pork, or chicken (Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken, anyone?). This versatile condiment is a must-have in our pantry, and it’ll quickly become one in yours too.
