To make the deviled eggs, start by cutting each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise. Then, you will want to scoop out the yolks and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Finally, you will mash the yolks with a fork until they are completely smooth. This last step is truly the key to a superb deviled egg – you really want the yolks to be super smooth and creamy.
Add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, hot sauce, and white vinegar to the egg yolk mixture and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the mixture back into the egg whites, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle with paprika and cayenne pepper for extra spice.
Garnish the deviled eggs with a sprinkle of paprika and chives, if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
