Prep Time 5 minutes minutes
Total Time 5 minutes minutes
Melt butter in the microwave in a small bowl or glass jug (do not overheat, microwave until the butter has just melted).
Add the hot sauce, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined and toss your chicken wings in the sauce.
Keep the wing sauce warm, or reheat slightly prior to using.
- It is recommended that you use Frank's hot sauce, but it can be substituted with any hot sauce and it will work fine.
- Butter can be substituted with ghee or sunflower oil.
- The sauce is enough for 3 pounds of chicken wings.
- If the butter is overheated, it won't mix very well with the hot sauce. So make sure to heat it until just melted.
- If you like your sauce really hot, do not add more hot sauce, instead, add half a teaspoon of cayenne powder. Adding more hot sauce will result in a very tangy sauce that is not very pleasant (due to the vinegar).
- Optional ingredients that you can add: a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon of paprika, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon of onion powder. You can also add a clove of garlic to the sauce for a garlicky flavor.
- Store homemade buffalo sauce in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 month. If it separates, it's because the butter hardens when it's chilled. Just reheat it gently prior to use.
