Notes
Note 1: This sauce is intentionally sweet. For less sweetness, add the honey gradually to taste, or balance it with extra cayenne or red pepper flakes.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It will thicken as it chills, so just stir in a splash of water before serving to loosen it back up.
