Find Frank's RedHot in most grocery stores or online. For the best flavor, choose high-quality, fresh spices. If you can't find smoked paprika, regular paprika works fine. Consider using a microplane grater for your black pepper for the best flavor.
Adjust the cayenne pepper amount based on your heat preference – start with less if you're sensitive to spice. You can substitute other hot sauces, but Frank's RedHot gives the authentic Buffalo flavor. For a thicker sauce, reduce the butter slightly or simmer longer to reduce.
Store your homemade Blazin' Buffalo Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Give it a good stir before using as the ingredients may separate during storage. The sauce will thicken when chilled, so let it come to room temperature before using for the best consistency.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Blazin’ Buffalo Sauce
I’ll guide you through making authentic Blazin’ Buffalo Sauce that’ll take your wings to the next level.
👨🍳 Step 1: Combine Hot Sauce and Butter
In a medium saucepan, I start by combining 1 cup of Frank’s RedHot Sauce and 0.5 cup of softened unsalted butter. The key here is to use the original Frank’s RedHot – its vinegar-based heat works perfectly with the richness of butter. I place the saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly until the butter melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth.
You’ll notice the sauce start to simmer gently and emit a fragrant aroma – this is when you know the emulsion is working. Keep whisking for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce is fully incorporated and slightly thickened. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon without separating.
👨🍳 Step 2: Add Spices and Seasonings
Once your hot sauce and butter mixture is smooth, it’s time to add the spices that give Blazin‘ Buffalo Sauce its signature flavor. I add 2 tablespoons of cayenne pepper (or more if you like it even spicier), 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika if you’re using it for that extra smoky depth.
Whisk these spices in thoroughly to ensure they’re fully incorporated. The cayenne pepper will amplify the heat, while the garlic powder adds a savory complexity. If you’re using smoked paprika, you’ll notice it adds a subtle smokiness that complements the vinegar in the hot sauce beautifully.
🔥 Step 3: Simmer and Reduce Slightly
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces slightly and thickens to your liking. You’ll know it’s ready when it coats the back of a spoon and has a rich, intense color.
Be careful not to let it boil too vigorously, as this can cause the sauce to break and separate. If you notice any separation, remove from heat immediately and whisk vigorously to re-emulsify. The finished sauce should have a smooth, velvety texture that clings to your wings perfectly.
⏰ Step 4: Season and Cool
Remove the sauce from heat and stir in 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. The salt helps balance the heat while enhancing the other flavors. Let the sauce cool to room temperature before using it on your wings.
I like to store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. When you’re ready to use it, simply reheat gently over low heat, whisking constantly to maintain that perfect emulsion. This sauce is incredibly versatile – use it for wings, as a dip, or even as a spicy pizza sauce.

🔪 Gathering Ingredients
To make this sauce, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce
- 1/2 cup Louisiana Hot Sauce
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
🍳 Mixing the Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the Frank’s RedHot sauce, Louisiana Hot Sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until smooth and bring to a simmer.
⏰ Reducing the Sauce
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
💡 Pro tip: If you prefer a milder sauce, start with less cayenne pepper and adjust to taste. You can always add more heat, but it’s harder to remove it once it’s added.
