Homemade Buffalo Sauce is one of my favorites. It’s so simple to make and it tastes amazing! Buffalo Sauce is my favorite way to sauce wings or even top on Mac n Cheese.
How to make Buffalo Sauce:
Buffalo Sauce is really easy to make. All it takes is mixing Hot Sauce with Butter and adding a little seasoning.
Melt your butter in a saucepan along with the hot sauce. Stir constantly so it does not burn. Once melted and mixed together it is done.

- Unsalted Butter – melted to make the Buffalo Sauce.
- Garlic Powder – adds a little flavor to the Buffalo Sauce.
- Salt – if you use salted butter you can omit salt here.
- Pepper
Directions:
Step One: Start by melting your butter in a saucepan.
Step Two: Once your butter is melted is just about melted you can add in your Frank’s Red Hot sauce and whisk together until smooth and combined.

Step Three: Last season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Then serve and enjoy.
FAQs:
Is there a difference between Hot Sauce and Buffalo Sauce?
Yes, there is a difference. Hot Sauce is basically hot peppers, salt, and vinegar. Mix hot sauce up with melted butter and that is Buffalo Sauce.
Why do you add butter to Hot Sauce?
Mixing butter in with hot sauce really brings out a richer taste and smoother consistency. Butter makes Buffalo Sauce what it is.
