Chef: Jessica Randhawa

Ingredients

▢ ½ cup butter - melted
▢ 1 cup Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Hot Sauce
▢ 1 tablespoon white vinegar
▢ ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
▢ ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper - optional
▢ salt and black pepper - to taste

Instructions

Melt the butter to a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Once the butter is nearly melted, stir in the hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (optional). Bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil), stirring often.
Remove from heat and season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
Gently stir before serving over wings.

Notes

Homemade buffalo sauce thickens as it cools. Gently reheat over low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl covered by a paper towel.

Omit the cayenne pepper if you prefer a less spicy buffalo sauce.
