Spice Things Up: Delicious Ways to Use Hot Honey

September 23, 2025

Hot honey has quickly become one of the hottest (literally!) flavor treads! This sweet, spicy condiment combines the natural richness of honey with a fiery kick from chili peppers, creating a versatile drizzle that can take your dishes to the next level.

Here are some tasty ways to use hot honey:

  1. On Pizza. A drizzle of hot honey over a slice of pepperoni pizza adds the perfect balance of sweet heat.
  2. With Cheese Boards. Pair hot honey with creamy cheeses like brie or sharp cheddar for a flavor explosion. It's especially good with charcuterie spreads.
  3. In Cocktails. Stir a spoonful into a whiskey sour, margarita, or even a simple hot toddy for a sweet-spicy twist.
  4. Over Fried Chicken. Crispy fried chicken and hot honey are a match made in heaven. Drizzle it on tenders, sandwiches or wings.
  5. On Vegetables. Roasted Brussels sprouts, carrots, or sweet potatoes shine when finished with a light hot honey glaze.
  6. At Breakfast. Try it over avocado toast, drizzled on biscuits, or mixed into yogurt with granola for a spicy-sweet start to your day.
  7. For Dessert. Elevate vanilla ice cream, cornbread, or even brownies with a drizzle of hot honey.

Hot honey's magic lies in its versatility. It enhances both savory and sweet dishes with a unique flavor profile. Whether you're cooking, snacking, or entertaining, this golden drizzle is sure to impress.
