There is nothing quite like a classic Buffalo sauce to add a bit of excitement to your dinner. I love how simple it is to whisk this together at home using just a few pantry staples, and it always tastes so much better than the bottled stuff from the store.

My secret to the best texture is to make sure your butter is fully melted before you start whisking. It helps the sauce stay nice and smooth so it coats your chicken or veggies perfectly every single time.

🧺 Ingredients

2/3 cup cayenne pepper hot sauce
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Place a small saucepan over medium heat on your stove.
2
Add the hot sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder to the pan.
3
Whisk the mixture constantly until the butter has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
4
Once the butter is combined, remove the pan from the heat immediately.
5
Use the sauce right away while it is warm or let it cool before storing it.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If the butter solidifies in the fridge, just pop the jar in the microwave for a few seconds and give it a good stir before using it on your wings.
