Ingredients

Buffalo Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 2/3 cup hot sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp cayenne powder

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely, ensuring it doesn't brown or burn.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Once the butter is melted, whisk in the hot sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne powder thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
  3. Simmer Sauce: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about one minute, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors and slightly thicken the sauce.

Notes

  • Adjust the cayenne powder according to your preferred spice level.
  • Use a high-quality hot sauce like Frank's RedHot for authentic buffalo flavor.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with margarine or a plant-based butter alternative.
  • Store any leftover buffalo sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
