Buffalo Sauce
Description
Buffalo Sauce features a base of cayenne pepper hot sauce combined with melted unsalted butter and honey, delivering a balanced heat with a touch of sweetness. Garlic powder and paprika add subtle depth and smokiness. The ingredients blend smoothly, creating a sauce with a bright red-orange color and moderate spice level.
This sauce requires no cooking beyond mixing and seasoning to taste. It can be served immediately or used as a basting sauce for grilled proteins or as a dip. The creamy texture from butter softens the heat of the cayenne pepper hot sauce, making it approachable.
To make a vegan version, substitute the butter with vegan butter and swap honey for agave nectar as noted. This maintains the flavor profile while accommodating dietary preferences.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cayenne pepper hot sauce such as Frank’s RedHot
- 4 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 2½ tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the hot sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, and paprika. Season to taste.
Notes
- For a vegan buffalo sauce, replace butter with vegan butter and substitute honey with agave nectar for sweetness.
