Recipe Notes
The standard Buffalo Sauce recipes are about 1/3 to 1/2 butter. Even worse, there are recipes and bottled sauces that use oil – often poor quality oil that is high in Omega-6 fatty acids.
It’s just too much. Not just because of all the additional fat, but because the sauce simply ends up being greasy. This recipe uses just a bit of butter to help make the sauce creamier and the fat helps to spread the hot sauce in the mouth, making it more flavorful.
Use your favorite hot sauce for this one. If you like it hotter, great, and if not, find a more mellow version. Note that sometimes after the Buffalo Sauce is refrigerated, the butter may solidify again and the sauce will not be smooth. If this happens, microwave for 10 seconds at a time until the butter is fully melted again and you have a smooth sauce.
