Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 cups rice crackers

Spicy Butter Mixture

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spicy Butter Mixture: Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in the hot sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, honey, and chili flakes until fully combined to create the spicy butter blend that will infuse the crackers with bold flavor.
  2. Toss the Crackers: Place the rice crackers in a large mixing bowl. Pour the spicy butter mixture evenly over the crackers and gently toss to coat each piece thoroughly without making them soggy, ensuring every cracker is bursting with flavor.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Spread the coated crackers in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 10-12 minutes, checking occasionally to prevent burning. Baking crisps the crackers and caramelizes the honey-infused butter.
  4. Garnish and Cool: Remove the crackers from the oven and transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with finely chopped green onions for freshness and color. Let them cool for a few minutes to firm up the spicy and smoky flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality hot sauce for the best flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure crackers crisp evenly without steaming.
  • Adjust chili flakes and hot sauce amounts to control the spice level to your preference.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  • Allow crackers to cool completely before storing to maintain crispness.
