Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Be sure to use low heat to prevent the butter from browning or burning.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
If you'd like a touch of sweetness to balance the heat, stir in the honey at this stage.
Season the sauce with salt to taste and continue stirring until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
Allow the sauce to gently simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the Buffalo wing sauce cool slightly. It will thicken as it cools.
Use immediately to coat freshly cooked chicken wings or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before using.
