Hot Honey Recipe (How to Make Hot Honey)

[@ll8712]

My brother grew hot peppers in garden this past summer and has dried them. He gave me a jar, so I think I will make him some hot honey using his hot peppers for Christmas gift this year. My family if full of cooks and we all have our own specialties and in lieu of material gifts we give the gifts of our labor in the kitchen to one another. Can't wait to see what he thinks of your hot honey! TYVM!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Let me know once you find out ;-)

[@egeozknn]

@II8712 hey did he like it

[@ericpeterson9110]

Followed this recipie and really enjoeyd the end result. Scotch bonnets were a great choice and i added a little rosemary and thyme during the infusion. 10/10.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Sounds great! Thanks!

[@sdega315]

My daughter likes to drizzle honey on sliced strawberries. One time she accidentally grabbed my hot honey. It was delicious!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Haha. Great intro to spicy food! =)

[@fujia3246]

try mongo, it's good too~!

[@Dirtbiker-guy]

My buddy is an apiarist and just gave me a bunch of honey a few months ago. I'm going to try this, there are so many uses.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Go for it! I hope you will enjoy!

[@g54b95]

The dried chile version is more appealing visually and texturally. The fresh chile version is probably more versatile, as it's kind of a sleeper. You could probably even make homemade ice cream with that.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Go for it! Let me know how it goes please.

[@Kevin_747]

My favorite part is making your own hot honey is way cheaper than the commercial brands. Once you make your own you'll never buy store bought again. Thanks for the video.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

So true!

[@ericpettyfishing]

just made a small batch with some peppers from our garden. half jalapeno. small habenero, and half a small ghost pepper. I had no idea it was this easy lol. so glad to have this for fried chicken!

[@truthmatters8241]

I must be sIow. I got a pizza coupon last week and it was for hot honey pizza. I thought, gee, I think I'd reaIIy Iike that, never heard of it. I Iove the hot/ sweet combo. EarIier I saw a vid of some woman making it and boiIing the heck out of it, and decided that didn't make sense. I'm SO HAPPY to see an approach that makes more sense. I am going to make this soon!! I"M DROOLlNG NOW!! : )

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Sounds great! Let me know how it goes please ;-)

[@jenjohnson2984]

So glad I found this channel! The pepper plants did well this year and I’ve got dehydrated ghost peppers I need to utilize. Thanks!

[@antfooo]

Love your vibe! Very positive. Keep it up

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thank you so much!!

[@chrisfraser2253]

Had an abundance of peppers this year.... You have been a great resource as this is my 3rd project from your repertoire

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks a lot, Chris. I am very glad to hear that!

[@mx-pyro]

The exact temp you need to keep honey under is 135F

[@wayned5872]

I did ground dried pods 4 weeks ago,let the honey & heat sit 2 weeks before touching it it came out great, my fellow hot heads in work thought the same

[@ATrain5485]

Great idea. I think I will prefer the pepper flake version. Thanks and God bless.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Great. Thank you and enjoy!

[@gloriarood4407]

Try mixing warm honey with a tbsp of surracha. Throw on wings. L8ved your vid. Will try the pepper flakes & honey.😊

[@DonPandemoniac]

I have beekeepers in the family so I'm never short of honey! The version with the chili flakes sure got my attention, going to make that soon. Thanks!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Nothing quite like fresh honey! Come back and let me know how it goes!

[@DonPandemoniac]

@@ChiliPepperMadness I will!

[@brianpeterson876]

Thank you for this video. I became addicted to the Hot Honey drizzle pizzas that Pizza Hut came out with a while ago. I am doing my first attempt on it today. I generally like hot sweet sauces on many different things. I definitely like the pepperoni drizzled with hot honey sauce but would use it on many things. Today I have chicken breasts in mind for lunch and thinking of basting them with the hot sweet honey sauce.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Enjoy!

[@weirjwerijrweurhuewhr588]

You should also try fermented! It’s very easy, just put chili and optionally garlic into honey. It will get a lot more liquid as the moisture is drawn from the chili and garlic. It drizzles amazingly and is really good on almost anything. Just make sure to “burp” the jar every once in a while because it will leak otherwise due to the pressure from fermenting.

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup mike, the first one I never made like that before, mixing in gochugaru with crushed red pepper chilies and the apple cider vinegar I love it, be awesome unstrained, private stash lol, already thinking wings🤤👊. I make 2nd way but never added ACV, makes sense, great on chicken and waffles, vanilla ice cream.. 🤤, tyvm tc 🌶️

[@markcollard9326]

On ice cream?!?!?!?

[@skydomi]

Both honey versions look fantastic!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thank you - enjoy!

[@markwindholz816]

That would go great on Mexican cornbread!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Absolutely! Hope you will give it a go!

[@justincollins3264]

Man thank you I can’t wait to try it on my pizza & fries chicken! It’s so expensive to buy it. Now I can make it! What’s the best way to store it and shelf life?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Hope you enjoy it. If you make it with dried peppers or flakes, it will last a long time in a pantry.

[@davidmercer5795]

I have a lot of super hots that a mild frost got on yesterday. Leaves are drooping so I'm going to salvage all I can . Going to make pepper sauce this weekend and planned on freezing the rest. I was wondering if you have ever used Ghost or Reapers in your honey mix?.? Thought about trying some after seeing this video.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Excellent. Yes, reapers! Make it nice and HOT HOT!

[@darrylduge2554]

I've done it with dried Reaper, Scorpian, and Ghost mix. Came out awesome!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Glad to hear that!

[@davidmercer5795]

I made a quart using some reapers , Ghosts and scorpions.. Almost too hot if that's possible 😁🤣!!@@ChiliPepperMadness

[@vimmons]

Very nice, thanks for sharing!

[@PAMALAsCHARIS]

I love Mike's Hot Honey! It's absolutely my 2nd favorite seasoning or flavor addition... Crystals hot sauce is still my number one. From someone on a super tight budget, I have to say that after buying a jar of honey, using electric or gas to cook, water and soap to wash dishes afterwards not to mention all of the energy and time, as a Handicap disabled person I'll just spend the $10 for Mike's Hot Honey.

[@brandiisbell7746]

Absolutely love your videos. I love the flavor but I can't take the heat. Please give me your advice. Thank you

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thank you. You can easily use fewer peppers for a milder infusion and even use peppers that are not as hot as the ones I am using. Don't add hot sauce or as much chili flakes. That should do it!

[@brandiisbell7746]

@ChiliPepperMadness Thank you Sir. I will use less peppers. I can't wait to get started! And I'll be watching your videos

[@jeffalexander4529]

Looks great Mike, im going to make both at the weekend. Keep you posted!👍

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Please do - I hope you will enjoy it!

[@zeescozykitchen]

Hi, which one did you like better?

[@annebruce5135]

How long would that keep and do I need to keep in the fridge? Looks delicious though maybe use less chilli flakes for my taste.

[@KolLolization]

I mean honey usually lasts near forever if it's not contaminated, so I think you are fine to just store it closed in a jar. Just be sure all your cookware is clean and the jar is sterilized. Refrigeration will definitely help, thought it will cause honey to crystalize quicker (still safe to eat).

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Your hot honey should last around 3 months, but good luck not eating it all before then! If you're making hot honey with chili flakes then pantry storage is fine, but hot honey made with fresh peppers is more perishable and should be stored in the fridge.

[@annebruce5135]

@@ChiliPepperMadness Thank you. BTW I made your blackened fish recipe last week and again yesterday, my partner says it's the best seasoning on fish he's ever tasted. Made again yesterday and it will be a regular on our weekly meal plan.🙂

[@asdlkmaldsjnf]

If you're using fresh peppers then you need to refrigerate it. Not sure about flakes.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Awesome to hear, Anne! Thanks for sharing this! =)

[@devn137]

can you sautee the fresh peppers before adding the honey?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

You surely can. Enjoy.

[@lorilotz4008]

I love your channel. Thanks! I have been wondering about something though. I see you chopping and handling the peppers without gloves. If I did that even the slightest bit my hands burn for a long time. Just curious… do yours burn and you just don’t care or are you immune? 😊

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks! Yes, peppers don't really bother my hands, but I DO recommend gloves for most people, as the peppers can cause a lot of irritation. I usually wear them when working with a lot of superhots.

[@lorilotz4008]

I always wear gloves. My skin is super sensitive. I even get burns from the steam when I’m cooking peppers!

[@cpwhiskey]

Would adding vinegar not put the water content above 18% and cause it to ferment like mead? That may not be good if left on the shelf.

[@joeyfireworks1]

@@cpwhiskey only if you use lots of more vinegar. This was just a little bit for the tangyness

[@kyleclark5290]

Double boiler to avoid too much heat?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

That should work just fine for you. Enjoy!

[@tonyyang1671]

Does it need to be refrigerated?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

I refrigerate mine.

[@cfnovak1]

Gonna smoke a ham tomorow at work! But first im gonna use your video as an inspiration to craft my hot honey to coat and glaze my ham with! Any other suggestions you could add would be great!

I've seen garlic fermented in honey. Could you do this with peppers as well?

[@joeycerelli]

Yes you can. I also do a garlic, honey, and fresh pepper ferment as well. You can dial up your desired heat level based on the chili you use.

what does the vinigar do?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Vinegar is optional, but it does help for longer keeping.

[@atobg_]

I thought you can just place chopped chilies in a car of honey and let it sit for some weeks and it’ll infuse? Wouldn’t that be better?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

You can do that, though heating offers a quicker (and fuller) infusion.

[@atobg_]

But won't heating ruin the beneficial properties of the honey?@@ChiliPepperMadness

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

You don't really ruin it, you still get great flavor. If you're worried about losing any specific nutritional benefits from your honey (such as with raw honey), you can, of course, use your simple infusion method. I prefer this way.
