Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup Frank’s RedHot Original cayenne pepper sauce
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoons honey (or agave nectar for vegan)
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Melt the butter: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Be careful not to let it brown.
- Whisk in the hot sauce and vinegar: Once the butter is melted, whisk in the Frank’s RedHot sauce and white vinegar until well combined.
- Add flavorings: Stir in the honey (or agave), Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Simmer gently: Bring the sauce to a low simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Taste and adjust: Remove from heat. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and additional cayenne pepper if desired.
- Use or store: Use immediately to toss with cooked chicken wings, or cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently before using.
Tips:
- Spice it up: For a hotter sauce, add more cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
- Make it creamy: Some recipes include a tablespoon or two of heavy cream for a slightly less tangy and smoother sauce.
- Flavor variations: Experiment with adding a pinch of smoked paprika or onion powder.
- Tossing the wings: For the best flavor and coating, toss your cooked chicken wings in the warm sauce and serve immediately.
Enjoy your delicious, homemade buffalo wings!
