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!

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.

THE PERFECT BUFFALO WING SAUCE

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.

MILD BUFFALO DRUMSTICKS

These have all the flavor of Buffalo wings, but with the heat dialed back, so they can please every palate. If you prefer yours spicy, simply increase the amount of hot sauce. Drumsticks make a substantial meal, and oven-roasting gets them crispy without the fuss of frying. You can substitute blue cheese dip for ranch.

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons celery salt
8 drumsticks (about 2 pounds), skin on, at room temperature
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup jarred, roasted and drained bell peppers
2 tablespoons distilled white or apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon vinegary hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
Kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened or melted
Celery sticks and ranch dressing, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a baking rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon celery salt. Add the drumsticks and drizzle with the oil, then toss with the spice mixture to coat. Place the drumsticks on the rack and bake, turning the drumsticks over halfway through, until the skin is starting to crisp, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the peppers, vinegar, hot sauce, remaining teaspoon garlic powder, remaining teaspoon paprika, remaining teaspoon celery salt and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to a blender and blend until pureed. Add the butter and puree again until well-combined. Remove 1/3 cup sauce and brush it on the drumsticks.
  • Return the drumsticks to the oven and bake until the sauce is thickened and the chicken's juices run clear when pierced with a knife or the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (avoid touching bone), 10 minutes. Serve immediately with celery sticks, ranch dressing and the remaining Buffalo sauce.
