Tips:
- To make the popcorn, you can use either an air popper or a stovetop pot. If using an air popper, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If using a stovetop pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels and cover the pot. Shake the pot constantly until the popping slows down to 2-3 seconds between pops. Remove the pot from the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
- For the spicy-sweet sauce, you can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness. If you like a milder sauce, start with 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and increase as needed. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the sauce for extra flavor.
- To coat the popcorn, drizzle the sauce over the popcorn and toss to coat. You can also use a spoon to stir the popcorn until it is evenly coated.
- Serve the popcorn immediately or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
