Gather and measure all ingredients: 3/4 cup hot sauce, 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Place a small saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter for about 1 minute without letting it brown.

Pour in the hot sauce and whisk gently for about 30 seconds until the mixture is combined and slightly bubbly.

Add the Worcestershire sauce and honey, whisking continuously for 30 seconds to blend.

Sprinkle in the garlic powder and paprika, whisking for 30 seconds to hydrate and bloom the spices.

Whisk in the black pepper and salt, then taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

Let the sauce simmer on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking occasionally to emulsify.

Remove from heat and let the sauce cool for 1 to 2 minutes before tossing with hot wings.
