This buffalo sauce recipe is an original and a crowd-pleaser! With only 4 ingredients, this mild yet spicy sauce can top your favorite chicken wings, potatoes, or even pizza.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz hot sauce (I use Frank’s regular hot sauce)
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 8 tbsp butter, unsalted
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp water

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine all of the ingredients except the cornstarch and water. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring often, until the butter is melted.
  2. Combine the cornstarch and water in a small mug and stir until it is completely dissolved.
  3. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and immediately start whisking it into the sauce. Keep whisking, and the sauce will start to thicken. When the sauce is noticeably thicker (i.e. will heavily coat the back of a spoon), remove the sauce from the heat and set it aside.
  4. Use immediately on foods that are hot (i.e. chicken wings) or let cool to room temperature to use on foods that are cold (i.e. salads). 

Notes

  • Best enjoyed the day it’s made, but leftovers will last for 3-4 days in the fridge.
