Ingredients
Buffalo Sauce Ingredients
- 1 cup cayenne pepper hot sauce (such as Frank’s)
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add 1 cup of cayenne pepper hot sauce, ½ cup unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar, ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder to a medium saucepan.
- Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the ingredients together, stirring occasionally to help the butter melt and combine evenly with the hot sauce and seasonings.
- Boil and Simmer: Bring the mixture to a full boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk occasionally during simmering to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat once done simmering. Serve the buffalo sauce warm as a coating for wings, a dipping sauce, or a flavorful spread for wraps and sandwiches.
Notes
- Use a good quality hot sauce like Frank’s for authentic buffalo flavor.
- Simmering helps meld the flavors and slightly thickens the sauce for better coating.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to one week; reheat gently before serving.
- Adjust cayenne pepper powder to taste for desired heat level.
- Butter can be substituted with margarine for a dairy-free option, but it may slightly alter the flavor.
