Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, honey, and sriracha. Whisk until combined, set aside until ready to use.

  2. Heat oil in a deep sauce pan or Dutch oven, about 5.5 to 6 quart pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 kernels to the oil, once they pop, remove them. This tells you your oil is hot enough. If oil begins to smoke, turn heat down.

  3. Add the 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels to the oil, stir into an even layer. Cover with lid, but prop slightly open to allow steam to escape. Gently shake the pot occasionally until the popping slows.

  4. Remove from heat, remove lid and dump popcorn into a large bowl. Drizzle with butter mixture, season with salt, and stir to coat. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

I have used both coconut oil and vegetable oil, and both have worked equally well.

Use any hot sauce variety you like.
