BEST BUFFALO WING SAUCE!!



Best Buffalo Wing Sauce!! image

ONLY use FRANKS RED HOT for this recipe please! It is the reason this sauce is soooooo perfectly perfect!! My whole family freaks every time I make this. You can toss traditional fried chicken wings in it or try something new like shrimp or boneless skinless chicken tenderloins. Whatever you like "Buffalo Style" this is your sauce... I like to serve with the traditional celery sticks and bleu cheese dressing.

Not too mild, but not too hot. Great for BBQs or picnics. Once sauce is bubbling, turn to low and let fried wings sit in sauce for 5 minutes flipping wings every other minute. Serve and enjoy! Don't forget the celery sticks and blue cheese.

BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS



Buffalo Chicken Wings image

Hot wings got their start in Buffalo, New York, in a kitchen. Although there was no game on at the time, today spicy wings and cool sauces are traditional game-day fare. Cayenne, red sauce and spices keep these tangy buffalo chicken wings good and hot, just like the originals. -Nancy Chapman, Center Harbor, New Hampshire

STEVE'S BOURBON BUFFALO WING SAUCE



Steve's Bourbon Buffalo Wing Sauce image

Tired of the same old red pepper and butter 'hot sauce' on your wings? Try this on your next batch for a change of pace. We're crispy wing lovers, so we always make them fried. It might work for baked wings as well, but that hasn't been tested...yet. Make your fried wings according to your favorite recipe, coat the wings in this sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds just prior to serving. You should be able to coat about a dozen wing pieces with the recipe. Your wings are going to be sticky but the wing lovers I hang with claim they're well worth the mess.

MILD BUFFALO WING SAUCE



Mild Buffalo Wing Sauce image

Our favorite commercial wing sauce is "Wing-Time" sauce, but it can be a bit difficult to find in stores. My husband likes the hot version (as opposed to the "very hot" - he says it has more flavor, even though he likes extremely spicy food), and I like the mild version. Unfortunately, the mild version is almost impossible to find, so I needed to create my own recipe. And believe me, this recipe makes a nice, tangy, flavorful mild wing sauce! I use this recipe as the basis for buffalo sauce recipes, and then if my husband wants it spicier he simply can add his own favorite hot sauces over top the cooked food. Delicious!

Categories     Sauces

Time 5m

Yield 3/4 cup, approx, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup frank's hot sauce
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a pan over low heat, melt the butter. You can allow it to brown slightly if you like, it's up to you (slightly browning it gives it a nice flavor), but be careful that it doesn't brown too much or burn.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and whisk together well.
  • Simmer for only 3-5 minutes, whisking occasionally - if you do it for longer then the garlic powder will begin to cook and the sauce will separate a bit. If you're going to use the sauce for cooking other ingredients in (such as pouring over wings and baking), that's fine because that's what will happen anyhow, but if you're going to use it for dipping then you'll probably not want to heat it for long. As with any non-commercial butter/hotsauce sauce, the butter *will* separate a bit, that's normal.
  • Note: I plan to experiment with ways to keep the butter from separating from the sauce, so that I can make up batches and keep it in the refrigerator, so stay tuned!
  • Re the ancho chile powder: ancho is pretty mild, and the main flavor point you're looking for is smokiness. If you don't have ancho chile powder, you shouldn't substitute it with cayenne or regular chile powder because it won't taste the same. Cayenne will add a lot of heat, as will regular chile powder, and there's plenty of heat already in the Frank's Hot Sauce. If you don't have ancho, you can try smoked spanish paprika. Or if you really feel up to experimentation, you can try a couple drops of Liquid Smoke and regular mild (not hot) paprika or a little chile powder, making sure that you taste it as they're added gradually to get the amount of heat and smokiness you prefer.
