- Yellow Mustard: I prefer yellow mustard for this recipe because its tanginess perfectly complements the spicy honey. However, you can easily substitute it with Dijon or deli mustard for a slightly different flavor.
- Hot Honey: I used Mike’s Hot Honey for this recipe, but you can make your own by mixing local honey with a dash of hot sauce to get that sweet heat.
- Greek Yogurt: Use plain Greek yogurt for a creamy base that adds richness without overpowering the flavors.
