This glaze simmers honey with butter, cayenne, and a splash of vinegar until it thickens into a glossy coating. It works well brushed over fried chicken, salmon, roasted vegetables, or grilled pork, and comes together quickly on the stovetop with pantry staples.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup honey
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Method

  1. In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the honey, butter, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt.

  2. Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the butter melts and the ingredients combine smoothly.

  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.

  4. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.

  5. Let the glaze cool for 5 minutes before brushing onto cooked meats, vegetables, or fish; it will continue to thicken as it cools.
