Buffalo Wing Popcorn
Ingredients
- Nonstick spray
- 8 cups plain, popped popcorn (made from 1/2 cup kernels)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup Frank’s Red Hot Original sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Coat parchment paper and a large bowl with nonstick spray and add popcorn to bowl. Set aside baking sheet.
- Bring sugar and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil, swirling pan occasionally, until caramel is a deep amber color, 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from heat; stir in hot sauce and butter (mixture will bubble vigorously). Return to a boil and cook another 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in salt, baking soda, and cayenne. Working quickly – and carefully because the caramel is very hot – pour caramel mixture over popcorn and toss to coat.
- Spread popcorn on prepared baking sheet and bake, tossing once, until dry, about 15-20 minutes. Let cool.
