Notes
Additions and Substitutions
You could always substitute a different oil if you don't have olive oil on hand. Try another neutral oil like vegetable oil, canola oil, or sunflower seed oil.
You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar - both of those options are plant-based if you wanted a vegan version. A liquid sweetener works best as it adds moisture to the sauce. You could also use brown sugar, just include a tablespoon or two of water at the same time.
Instead of cayenne pepper, you could also add 1-2 teaspoons of sriracha for added spice and flavor.
