Buffalo Chicken Sauce

Making this salsa with pineapple and mango is incredibly simple and flexible. What you like to add, leave out what you don’t. It ought to taste just like summertime! Wonderful on a spoon or with fish, chicken, pork, chips, or any other protein!

I usually dip my potato patties in mayo, but decided to try this buffalo sauce. It was delicious and didn’t even take a minute to whip up. I melted some Earth Balance vegan spread in the microwave, added hot sauce, and mixed with a spoon. Super simple, super delicious. Now I have two dipping options for my patties, but I think I prefer the buffalo sauce!

‘Not a fire breather here, & wanted a pretty mild sauce. I got it, but a very buttery one, too. Very, very buttery & very, very mild. 🙁
Craig Howell
Made this as is written with the addition of a little white vinegar and about 3 tlbs of leftover sour cream and chopped leftover chicken tenders. Used this to top a plain cheese pizza – OMG Good!
Danny Bell
Nice flavor and super easy!!
James Rios
Perfect blend when looking for that Buffalo sauce taste.
Candace Randall
I loved this sauce.I was looking for something to put on chicken breast that was diffrent and easy. My husband loved it I added the vinegar and some tobasco.
Jack Henry
Great sauce! If you want to just stick with the two ingredients, go with Frank’s Hot since it has a nice twang to it already.
Zachary Sullivan
Good stuff, wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks Erin!

For the most part this is the recipe that I use in my cafe. For those that asked about a thicker sauce, you can let it continue to simmer over a low heat and it will thicken a bit with some stirring. Also, I don’t clarify the butter, I just melt it along w/ the hot sauce and let it simmer. YUM!!!

The only way to make buffalo sauce. No other ingredients needed, although some add extra vinegar. Frank’s Hot Sauce (not the buffalo sauce) is THE sauce to use here. Also, you can adjust the heat by changing the hot sauce/butter ratio–more butter means a milder sauce, less makes a hotter sauce. Make sure you melt the butter slowly and don’t let it brown or you’ll have a whole different taste. (If this happens, start over!) I like to deep-fry wings until crisp, drain them briefly on paper towels, place in a bowl, then immediately pour on the heated sauce. It will sizzle and this keeps the skin crispy. Serve with bleu cheese dressing. Yum!

Makes some great buffalo wing sauce. The butter adds a nice sweet flavor to the hot sauce. I also add garlic powder to the mixture because it heightens the flavor. This wings will have you coming back for more.

This was good. I used it for the buffalo chicken rolls from this site.

I’ve made this recipe many times, and I do agree with adding a smidge of vinegar to the sauce. It’s great on chicken nuggets: put the sauce in a large bowl, add hot cooked nuggets, and stir to coat. Serve, or put the nuggets on a cookie sheet and broil for a minute or two to crisp them up a bit. Yum! Thanks for sharing, Erin!

I was a little skeptical of this recipe having only two ingredients, but it really tasted like restaurant style buffalo sauce. The entire family loved it.
Shelby Rodriguez
Not that impressed, but it has potential. Very bland. Maybe some pepper and more hot sauce!
Jennifer Santos
This was perfect over the “buffalo chicken fingers” recipe from this site. For two servings I used two tablespoons of margarine, melted and one tablespoon of Franks Red Hot sauce. Thanks for a great sauce!
Kimberly Schmidt
This recipe is good but I always add a little cayenne pepper and just a tad bit of honey to mine. Not to much as to make it sweet but just enough to where not all your tasting is straight buttered hot sauce.
Scott Vincent
I really like this recipe. But if you would like too make it a little thicker add a little ketchup to it.
Keith Frye
Worked like it said it would. I actually used it on popcorn chicken. I let it congeal and then I added the cooked chicken in a round tupperware container and spun it. I think it would have been more effective if I had fried the chicken instead of baked it. I added a little chili powder, too.
Toni Wall
GREAT!!!

I live in Buffalo and we all know you have to use Frank’s Hot Sauce for authentic Buffalo Wings. And as someone sugested, change the butter level to change the heat. And for those who say it isn’t thick enough. Go to Duff’s in Buffalo, IMO and many others, better than Anchor Bar, it is like getting a bowl of hot sauce soup with wings in it.
