Buffalo Wing Sauce Recipe
This classic Buffalo Wing Sauce recipe features Frank's RedHot hot sauce and butter for a nod to the original Anchor Bar Buffalo chicken wing flavors.
Servings: 1.5 cups
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 1 medium size saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Frank's RedHot hot sauce (Don't comment on flavors unless you use Frank's)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Melt: In the medium saucepan over medium heat combine Frank’s RedHot and the melted butter. As the pan warms, stir the butter to incorporate. When the butter is completely melted the sauce should barely be at a simmer. Do NOT let it come to a boil!
- Flavor: Remove from heat and then use to flavor your wings.
- Serve: If making classic Buffalo hot wings take half of the sauce and toss with the finished wings in a large bowl. Reserve the other half for dipping.
Notes
Key Tip: Do not let it come to a boil or the fats will separate and the sauce won't emulsify (or thicken). Stir consistently and be sure to lower the heat if you sense it's starting to come to a high simmer.
For More Heat: We find this is the perfect balance of heat. But if you live on the daring side, and you like them hot, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper, a little bit at a time, until you get to your preferred heat level.
