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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
If you'd like a touch of sweetness to balance the heat, stir in the honey at this stage.
Step 4
Season the sauce with salt to taste and continue stirring until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
Step 5
Allow the sauce to gently simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the Buffalo wing sauce cool slightly. It will thicken as it cools.
Step 7
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.
