Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Be careful not to let it boil or brown.
Once the butter has fully melted, whisk in Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce until fully combined and smooth.
Add Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk thoroughly to incorporate all the spices.
If you prefer a touch of sweetness, stir in the honey at this stage.
Increase the heat to medium-low and let the sauce gently simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed (add more hot sauce for extra heat or honey for sweetness).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the Buffalo wing sauce cool slightly before using.
Toss freshly cooked wings in the sauce to coat them evenly, or serve it on the side as a dip.
