Instructions
Combine the hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder in a small saucepan.
⅔ cup hot sauce, 1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar, ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Take the sauce off the heat. Add the butter a few tablespoons at a time, whisking until it melts before adding the next tablespoon.
½ cup butter
Stir in the salt and pepper. Give it a taste and adjust as needed.
1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper
Notes
Taking the sauce off the heat before gradually whisking in the butter will help emulsify the butter and create a smooth and slightly thicker sauce with a velvety texture.
The type of hot sauce you use can change the flavor of your buffalo sauce. Frank's RedHot sauce is the classic choice, but don't be afraid to experiment with other brands and flavors.
The sauce stays good for about a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Add more butter to mellow the heat if the sauce is too spicy. You can also add a bit of honey or brown sugar for a sweet counterbalance to the spice.
