THE GREATEST BUFFALO CHICKEN
WING SAUCE
 
This recipe is one of a kind. Ever since I ventured into making my own kind of chicken wing sauce, my wife, my friends and my family won't stop coming over to have some of this delicious finger-licking good special sauce. And here's how you make it.

2 cups dry cayenne peppers (50 grams)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 chopped garlic
1/3 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 bottle Louisiana Hot Sauce
1/2 of the juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup ketchup

Start by roasting the cayenne peppers on a pan over a medium high flame. Toss them around inside the pan for a couple of minutes and make sure you don't let these get burned. Add enough water to cover the peppers and bring water to a boil. Let them cook for ten minutes. Drain water and place them in blender. Add 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of vinegar and salt. Blend on high and allow to percolate.

Place butter stick on a pan over a medium flame so that it melts. Add onion, garlic, tomato and the whole bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce.

Let all cook for about five minutes, stirring occasionally. Immediately pour into blender and add the percolated cayenne pepper sauce. Blend on high for two minutes. Add the lemon juice, honey and ketchup, and blend again for a few seconds. Pour back into the pan where you melted the butter, and let it simmer for a good 20 minutes.

What I usually do, is fry the chicken wings until they’re golden brown and very crispy and then I dip each one into the sauce. My wife and I love these with celery sticks and Ranch dressing.

I use dry ranch dressing in the franks sauce, dip them,then bake them. The dry ranch dressing helps the sauce stick to wings and gives them extra flavor.

Thanks for all the comments and the belly laughs. "Wings" people sure are passionate about this tummy delight. I wasn't sure if I should wear armor or not reading all the banter. At any rate ... thanks for a great recipe and heighting my awareness to new levels in the Buffalo Wing world! Cheers!

Wondering if anyone knows why Franks started serving Buffalo wings, why and where. Just a little trivia!

Buffalo wings never have honey or ketchup. I'm not saying some people might not think these are tasty, but call them spicy honey garlic wings or something. Butter, franks or similar, maybe vinegar. That's it. Don't add in a bunch of other stuff and let people think they are getting buffalo wings. Annoys me so much when I order them and they come out tasting like sweet spicy Chinese wings. Grrr!

Jill (Calif).. chicken wings are what they are... whether, bland, with "Franks" or another hot sauce. (I have made my own sauce w/o Franks) and are amazing! Cayenne peppers soaked in water, fresh tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers, fresh parsley, chives, green onion, pinch of sugar, S&P to taste. Adjust to taste; Cook down and blend in Blender or Food Processor & adjust to taste, again. Yummy!

Dennis Davis, I lived in Columbus, Ohio for several years & Roosters was my favorite too. Now I'm trying to duplicate the taste but here in Jakarta we don't have Frank's only Louisiana Wing Sauce. I'm still perfecting the taste. Cheers.

I just made this, but substituted bird's eye pepper s for the cayenne since I can't get cayenne peppers here. It turned out nicely, but really, really hot. Keep up the good work.

Hey, I live in Germany and I don't even know what hot sauce is. Something like Tabasco?

Thanks for the recipe! And for those saying "it's not real buffalo blah... blah..." - Yes, some recipes may taste better than others, but hot wings are hot wings. Three basic components: Fried chicken wings, butter, hot sauce. Possibly add other ingredients like crushed pepper, minced garlic, habenero chunks, etc.

Franks was the original hot sauce in "Buffalo" wings, but that doesn't disqualify these other variations. IMO, Franks is a good base, but as far as heat and flavor, there are far better choices out there.

And as far as Blue Cheese vs. Ranch - That has nothing to do with the wing recipe. Its what wimps use to dip in when their mouth is on fire from my habenero sauce. I'll use ranch WAY before I'll put moldy cheese in my mouth.

Daniel (Iowa) You commented that there are 15 ingredients to the "true" sauce. Yet you only shared some of those 15 and didn't give measurements. Care to elaborate? Would love to try the recipe.....

I'm going to try this sauce, it sounds terrific! I don't care about brand names of sauce, just whether I like it or not. And by the way, there are those of us who prefer RANCH dressing because bleu cheese makes me nauseous. I worked on salad bar for a restaurant for a YEAR and cannot stand being near bleu cheese. After all, what matters is what you LIKE. :)
