Homemade Buffalo Wing Sauce
This tangy and spicy Buffalo Sauce can be whipped up in a jiffy, and will pair perfectly with your chicken wings, tacos, salads and more!
I love spicy food. And I love sauces. As I began to expand my cooking repertoire many years ago, I knew that I wanted to try my best to make foods from scratch.
When it came to spicy buffalo sauce, I always came across recipes that called for Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. Now, no disrespect to “Frank”, but I wanted to try making a batch of Buffalo sauce without that as an ingredient. After some tinkering with measurements, I finally came up with a delicious, from-scratch recipe for buffalo sauce.
This can be used poured over a hot batch of chicken wings, or as a condiment for salads, or added to a mix of meatballs.
