Welcome back to the Simple Recipe Box podcast! I’m your host, Ben Harper, and today we're diving into a recipe that promises to heat things up in your kitchen. Get ready to master the art of making Dave's Hot Chicken Sauce, a spicy delight that will transform your meals from ordinary to extraordinary.
Let's start with what you’ll need. Grab a medium-sized mixing bowl and a whisk because we’re keeping the equipment list simple today. Now, for the ingredients, you’ll need mayonnaise, ketchup, your favorite hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and if you dare, a bit of cayenne pepper for that extra kick.
Now, let’s put it all together. Start by whisking 1 cup of mayonnaise with half a cup of ketchup. Add a quarter cup of hot sauce — Frank's RedHot or Sriracha works wonders here. Then, mix in two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce for depth. For the spices, toss in a teaspoon each of garlic and onion powders, half a teaspoon of paprika, and half a teaspoon of salt. Round it off with a quarter teaspoon each of black pepper and cayenne pepper. Whisk it all until smooth.
Once your sauce is well combined, taste it and tweak the seasoning according to your preference. More heat? Splash in some extra hot sauce. If it’s too fiery, balance it out with a bit more mayonnaise. After adjusting, cover your bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This resting period lets the flavors meld beautifully.
And there you have it, folks—Dave's Hot Chicken Sauce, ready to jazz up your dishes! It’s perfect with fried chicken, as a dip for fries, or drizzled over grilled meats. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, and it’ll keep for up to two weeks.
