Homemade hot sauce can be made with fresh ingredients, while sriracha is often less expensive.

In a saucepan over low heat, add 1 and 1/3 cups of red hot sauce.

Add 3 tablespoons of white vinegar to the saucepan.

Incorporate 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce into the mixture.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika.

Whisk the mixture together until it is heated through, but do not let it boil.

As soon as the sauce starts to steam slightly, take it off the heat.

Add 1 cup of room temperature butter, cut into pieces, to the sauce.

Whisk until the butter is melted and fully combined with the sauce.

Optionally, add a teeny bit of salt to taste.

Once the butter is mixed in, the sauce is done and ready to use.
