The following ingredients will make you all the Buffalo Wing Sauces you'll ever need! FRANK'S® Red Hot Sauce FRANK'S® Xtra hot Sauce white vinegar butter garlic powder Dave's Insanity sauce Here are a variety of Buffalo and Hot Wing Recipes to suit your needs. Vinegar can be added to any of these recipes if you are a vinegar lover, but it is not needed if you don't care for it. All recipes call for butter and of course it must be melted. All recipes involve mixing all ingredients together to a smooth consistency. MILD/MEDIUM WINGS: 1/3 cup FRANK'S® Red Hot Sauce 1/3 cup butter 1-2 tbsp. vinegar (optional) HOT WINGS: 1/3 cup FRANK'S® Xtra Hot Sauce 1/4 cup butter (optional) 1-2 tbsp. vinegar (optional) REALLY HOT WINGS: 1/3 cup FRANK'S® Xtra Hot Sauce 1/4 cup butter 1/2 to 1 tsp. Dave's Insanity Sauce 1-2 tbsp. vinegar (optional) For Garlic Wings, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to any of the above recipes. To make the wings, deep fry them until golden brown and slightly crispy. Put the sauce into a Tupperware container or freezer bag. Add the wings, and shake them in the sauce. Remove them and eat! You can use any typical blue cheese or Ranch dressing to dip the wings in. AVOID using sauces such as Tabasco. These are not Buffalo Wings with Tabasco, but Tabasco really makes the wings unpleasant to eat. Use FRANK'S®, it's the original wing sauce and the best for flavor out there for Buffalo Wings. In a pinch, you can substitute Louisiana Hot Sauce or Texas Pete's or any other brand tomato-pepper based hot sauce, but once again, AVOID Tabasco! Submitted by: The Wing Master | |

Cindy (South Carolina) says:
Are any of you even FROM Buffalo? I am. Authentic Buffalo Style Wing Sauce starts and ends with Frank's Hot Sauce. Of course if you can't get it where you live that's a problem. You will have to be content with a wing sauce that is a wann-be to the real thing. Sorry!

Ralph Shackelton (Florida) says:
Lousiana Hot Sauce is more tolerable for wings. Tabasco and Franks make for too much bite and not enough flavor. Best wings ever were from the Crooked Board in Slatterville Springs, NY. Outrageous flavor.

Bob (Michigan) says:
If you're going to use Frank's hot sauce... just go buy Frank's buffalo Sauce...
#69485
Paul (United States) says:
Franks and Tabasco are flavorless. Fire and vinegar at best. For a good hot sauce, Texas Pete is the way to go. Enough heat with a good balance of flavor. If the regular Texas Pete isn't hot enough for you they have an extra hot version. Enough quibbling about the two lousy sauces afore mentioned.

What is Dave's Insanity sauce? AND where can I get it in NY, Brooklyn?

William (Massachusetts) replies:
I'll say one thing about this recipe Dave's Insanity is the fire burns so good, so good in fact that it gave a man i know a heart attack course it was a bet that he wouldn't drink a double shot of it guess he earned that $40.

Mary (Maryland) replies:
Chef weighing in... have hosted many hot sauce tastings and find that palettes are different. Too much heat, and that's all you get.. not 'flavor' at all, but 'burn.' Dave's Insanity is like this, and Dave's makes even hotter sauces. No use arguing original wings being better or worse based on sauce. You can argue 'authentic' but as for taste, it's the tongue of the taster that finds one recipe better than another based purely on the pepper factor.

Lauren (Massachusetts) replies:
1/2 to 1 tsp Insanity Sauce?? Good lord. I am a spice junkie and I still can't handle more than a single drop or two in a sauce. Tip of the hat to you!

Sean (Virginia) says:
This is a great recipe. I love Tabasco, but I only use a tablespoon of Tabasco to accent my wing sauce. I stick with Franks for the base. It is the authentic sauce first used by the woman who made the first batch in Buffalo. It has a great flavor, and it makes the best base for my own sauce. I start with this recipe and I add little touches of mustard powder, garlic powder, and the tablespoon of Habanero Tabasco.

Dave (New York) says:
You should avoid Tabasco because it is simply disgusting. It's bad pepper, not even red cayenne, and it's punky from being so overly mass-produced. It's not really stronger than Frank's Louisiana Red Hot Sauce (the straight-up version of Frank's Wing Sauce, but Tabasco profits are higher from selling you much smaller quantities at a higher price/ounce.

Connie H. (North Carolina) says:
I have found that Louisiana hot sauce, butter (NOT MARGARINE), vinegar and a touch of sugar makes the most excellent wings but I am willing to try Frank's if it is sold in NC.
#61950
Connor (Florida) says:
I'm from the home of the wing and let me tell you, Frank's is not the original sauce. real sauce is made from butter, vinegar, cayenne pepper, and a few other things like lemon juice. this recipe is not the real thing but it would taste OK for the at-home cooks.

Chip (United States) says:
My dad once made hot wings with Tabasco sauce when I was about ten years old... for the next ten years I thought I hated hot wings. Then I had some wings with Frank's and butter and I had a revelation. Tabasco is not for wings.

Jmacjem71 (Idaho) says:
The best for Buffalo sauce is to use a Louisiana style hot sauce (Chrystal is a popular brand). I use the store brands, just as good. The butter is used to reduce heat. The less you use the hotter the wings. I use a 12 oz. bottle of hot sauce to one stick of butter. I add a little cornstarch and water mixture to the sauce, it makes it thicker and it sticks on your wings better. Try adding a little brown sugar for sweet and spicy - my kids love it this way.

TWil2 (Louisiana) says:
I don't find Tabasco to be hot. Ya'll are wimps. When I use it, I just leave out the vinegar since it's in the Tabasco sauce already.
#52723
Lynn behler (Pennsylvania) says:
Tabasco sauce is made from a different type of pepper than Red Hot also it is made to be dispensed a few drops at a time. The recipe calls for 1/3 cup Red Hot in which the wings will be drenched. If you used that much Tabasco it would kill you. You're looking for Red Hot "Franks original recipe" and if you want em' right this is the only one.
#50820
Talbot (Oklahoma) says:
Tabasco has a unique, complex, sweet undertone to it. This is a polite way of saying it tastes vile. It's also nontraditional and wings made with it would be "hot wings", not buffalo wings. Frank's is recommended because is was used in the original buffalo sauce. I use Louisiana hot sauce and I'm quite satisfied with it, but purists will always back Frank's above all else.
Chili enthusiasts are the same way about whether tomatoes and beans are acceptable(they are). It's a struggle that will never end, I suppose.

As far as what was the original hot sauce used to make wing sauce, no one knows that except the person that came up with the idea of, "Hey, I'll mix some butter and hot sauce together for some chicken and...." Probably a mother trying to feed some hungry teenagers, who knows. Just glad they did.
