Garlic Buffalo Sauce Recipe

Homemade Garlic Buffalo Sauce Recipe is robust with the round flavour of garlic, not just heat and vinegar like the store bought counterpart. It's not hard to make, either. When you combine a simple process with a delicious outcome, I think making your own Garlic Buffalo Sauce Recipe is a no-brainer!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 1/3 cups Frank's RedHot
  • 10 cloves garlic peeled and lightly smacked to release oils
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter with the garlic cloves over low heat. Let the mixture bubble gently until the garlic cloves become tender, about 10 minutes. Take care not to "toast" the butter or garlic cloves, removing from heat as needed to prevent browning.
  • Whisk together all remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Boil for 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes before blending until smooth with a stick blender or a regular blender. Transfer to a jar to refrigerate. It may separate as it cools, so whisk it together before using.

Notes

For MILD Garlic Buffalo Sauce, change the quantity of butter to 1 2/3 cups and the Frank's RedHot Sauce to 2/3 cup. For MEDIUM Garlic Buffalo Sauce, change the quantity of butter to 1 1/3 cups and the Frank's RedHot Sauce to 1 cup. For EXTRA SPICY Garlic Buffalo Sauce, change the quantity of butter to 2/3 cup and the Frank's RedHot Sauce to 1 2/3 cups.
