Description
Skip the bottle and make this restaurant-style buffalo sauce at home. It combines real butter, hot sauce, and savory seasonings for the perfect “medium” heat that clings to wings and dips.
Ingredients
2/3 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Sauce
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1.5 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
Instructions
1. Combine the hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
3. Reduce the heat to low.
4. Add the butter cubes one at a time while whisking constantly. Wait for each cube to melt before adding the next to ensure a glossy emulsion.
5. Stir in the cayenne pepper if you prefer a spicier kick.
6. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
**Heat Level:** Omit the cayenne for a mild sauce. Double the cayenne for “Hot” restaurant style.
**Storage:** Store leftovers in a jar in the fridge for up to 1 month. The butter will solidify, so microwave gently and whisk before using.
