• Whisk the seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper into the butter until it is completely combined.
• Gradually pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture, stirring as you pour so that all of the cereal is completely coated.
• Spread the cereal onto a large ungreased rimmed baking sheet. Make sure it is spread out in one even layer. Place the baking sheet in the oven, and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure all pieces get crispy.
