Hot sauce whisked with butter, vinegar, Worcestershire and cayenne into a classic buffalo sauce for wings.

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup hot sauce
  • ½ cup (113 g) cold unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  • Add everything to a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Whisk nonstop until it simmers, then take it off the heat.
  • It thickens as it cools; the butter softens the heat, so add more cayenne if you want a spicier sauce.

Notes

Prep 5 minutes, cook 10 minutes. Keeps up to 1 month airtight in the refrigerator.
