Instructions
How to Prepare Easy Homemade Buffalo Sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the 1/2 cup of butter. Stir occasionally to prevent it from browning.
- Once the butter is melted, reduce the heat to low and add the 1 cup of hot sauce. Stir well to combine the butter and hot sauce into a smooth mixture.
- Incorporate the 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and the 1/4 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. These ingredients will add tanginess and depth to your buffalo sauce.
- Sprinkle in the 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. This adds an aromatic touch that enhances the overall flavor.
- In a small bowl, mix the 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Gradually add this to the sauce while continuously whisking. This will help to thicken the sauce slightly.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for a few more minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. Remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before using or storing.
