Bright lime juice and zest cut right through the heat here, balancing smoky paprika, garlic powder, and a kick of cayenne into a glossy, pourable sauce. Whisking everything together over gentle heat builds a smooth emulsion without any thickeners or fillers, just bold flavor and a rich, velvety texture. A splash of sugar-free hot sauce brings the classic tang, while chili powder and smoked paprika round out the depth. It comes together in minutes and keeps well in the fridge, ready to toss with wings, drizzle over roasted veggies, or use as a dip whenever you need a punch of heat. Clean ingredients and simple technique make this one an easy fit for a Paleo kitchen. Rewarm it low and slow, whisk to re-emulsify, and it's just as glossy as the first pour.

Combine the hot sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking until the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the ghee and whisk continuously until it is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy, about 2–3 minutes. Do not let the sauce boil — keep the heat at medium-low so the emulsion holds.
