Hot and Spicy Pecans

This is my go-to recipe for pecans! We buy the big bags from Sam's club. I follow the recipe but am heavy handed with the spices, especially the red pepper flakes! I also add a good sized tbsp of brown sugar and a heavy shake or 3 of ground cayenne pepper. I snack on these and use them in salads. If I bring then to work my colleagues go crazy over them!

Great taste! Easy to make!

Hot & Spicy Pecan Haiku: "These were pretty good. Left 'dorito' dust on hands. Lick your fingers clean!" I think I would've rather mixed the chili powder into the butter/seasoning mix in an attempt to avoid the powdery dust that the pecans left on my fingers after every bite. I followed the recipe, but dropped the oven temp to 250, shaking the pan frequently to avoid burning. It was a nice way to jazz up pecans, but in all honesty, I think if I were to make it again, I would either skip the chili powder all-together and increase the cayenne (as well as possibly adding coriander, onion powder, or paprika), or as mentioned, stirring the chili powder into the butter/worcestershire b4 tossing everything together.

I tried this today since it had such a high rating and was very disappointed. For me, the flavor was not so great.

Good, but as written would have been way too much chili powder for me. I added more garlic & cayenne & less chili, but it's really just a taste preference. I also am out of butter so I used a bit of olive oil.
