Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s Red Hot)
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar (optional)
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Garlic: Place the butter and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the butter is completely melted and the garlic is fragrant, which usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
- Add Hot Sauce and Vinegar: Stir in the hot sauce and white vinegar if using. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and fully incorporated. This creates the signature tangy and spicy flavor of the sauce.
- Cool the Sauce: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using. This helps the flavors meld and prevents the sauce from being too hot when tossed with the wings.
Notes
- Use Frank’s Red Hot for an authentic Buffalo wing flavor.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce depending on your spice preference.
- The white vinegar adds a slight tang but can be omitted if desired.
- Use fresh minced garlic for the best flavor.
- Store leftover sauce in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week and reheat gently before use.
