Special Notes

This spicy-sweet Cajun honey butter sauce is perfect for seafood and chicken. The combination of honey and hot sauce creates the perfect balance. The key is to not overheat to prevent the honey from burning. This sauce is perfect for grilling and can be made ahead of time. For extra heat, you can add more cayenne pepper. The sauce should be served warm for the best taste.
