Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter ghee, or vegan butter
  • ¾ cup hot pepper sauce such as Frank's
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a pot or small saucepan.
  • Once the butter has melted, whisk in the hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Mix until combined.

Notes

  • If your butter separates from the hot sauce, then it means it hasn't been mixed well enough. Try mixing your buffalo sauce with a whisk instead of a spoon.
  • To thicken buffalo sauce, create a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water), bring the buffalo sauce to a simmer, then mix in the slurry. 
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Use this buffalo sauce for all of your favorite buffalo needs and desires.
