CLASSIC Buffalo Sauce Recipe | PERFECT for Wings & MORE

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining a rich flavor.

hot sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade hot sauce

💰Cheaper: sriracha

Homemade hot sauce can be made with fresh ingredients, while sriracha is often less expensive.

Melt equal parts of Frank's Red Hot sauce and salted butter together in a pan.

Do not brown the butter; just melt it together with the hot sauce.

Adjust the spice level by changing the amount of butter or hot sauce, not by adding cayenne or vinegar.

For chicken wings, lay them out on a baking sheet and parbake in a 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes until slightly brown.

After parbaking, deep fry the wings in a cast iron Dutch oven filled with oil until crispy brown.

Toss the fried wings in the prepared buffalo sauce using tongs until well coated.

Serve the wings with blue cheese and celery on the side.
