Ingredients

Instructions

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until gently bubbling.
4 tablespoons butter
Whisk in the Franks hot sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Keep stirring for 1-2 minutes until the sauce looks smooth and unified.
½ cup Franks Hot Sauce
⅓ cup honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Lower the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes more.
Remove the buffalo sauce from heat and allow it to cool slightly before pouring into a jar. Don’t worry if it looks a bit thin, as it will thicken as it sits.

Notes

Keep the heat gentle once you add all ingredients. High heat can cause the honey to scorch and the sauce to separate.
Whisk constantly while the sauce comes together. This helps the butter emulsify properly with the hot sauce and honey so it thickens evenly.
Let the sauce cool for a few minutes before judging the texture. It thickens as it sits, so don’t overcook it trying to make it look thicker in the pan.
