????️ Hot Honey – Thermomix & Stovetop Recipe
This Hot Honey was first shared in my SkinnyAmerica cookbook drizzled over some delicious Hot Honey Not Fried Chicken, and I honestly didn’t expect it to get as much love as it has!
But after we released the free Hot Honey Beef & Sweet Potato Protein Bowl recipe & Cornbread Veggie Bake recipe…
The posts and messages started rolling in:
“Nik… can I just get the hot honey on its own?”
So here it is — your new favourite sauce to drizzle over anything and everything.
???? What Makes It So Good?
This recipe is all about sweet heat. It’s the perfect balance of runny honey and warming chilli, with a little vinegar for tang and depth. What I love about it is how quick and clean it is — no thickeners, preservatives, or weird additives. Just simple pantry staples.
It’s also:
-
✅ Thermomix and stovetop friendly
-
✅ Gluten free
-
✅ Dairy free
-
✅ Preservative free
-
✅ Easy to batch and store
????️ Adjust the Heat to Your Taste
Not a fan of spicy? You can completely control how much heat goes in — start with a small pinch of chilli flakes and build up. If you’re someone who likes a proper kick, go ahead and add extra or even use fresh chilli.
If you go a bit overboard, add a little more honey or vinegar to mellow it back out.
???? How to Use Hot Honey
There are so many ways to use this — once you’ve got a jar in the fridge, it ends up going on everything. A few community favourites:
-
Drizzled over roast chicken or chicken wings
-
Mixed into salad dressings or dipping sauces
-
As a pizza topping (trust me!)
-
Drizzled over the Cornbread Veggie Bake
-
Used in the sauce for the Hot Honey Beef & Sweet Potato Protein Bowl
???? Storage Tips
Store in a clean glass jar or bottle in the fridge — it’ll keep for a few weeks no problem. The sauce will firm up a little when cold (thanks to the honey), but just give it a stir or leave it out for a few minutes before using.
I don’t recommend freezing it, but it’s so quick to make fresh that it’s really not needed.
