In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, salt, butter or margarine, hot pepper, and water.
Cook all ingredients over medium heat until the salt is dissolved and the mixture comes to a good rolling boil.
Once the sauce is ready, brush it over the chicken several times during barbecuing to add flavor and moisture.
