About Buffalo sauce

Buffalo sauce, a bold and tangy condiment, is a staple in American cuisine, originating from Buffalo, New York, where it was famously paired with chicken wings. Typically made from a blend of hot sauce, melted butter, vinegar, and seasonings such as garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce, its fiery flavor complements a variety of dishes. While Buffalo sauce is low in calories, it is high in sodium, which can be a concern for those watching their salt intake. The addition of butter introduces fats that may not align with low-fat diets. However, lighter versions using oil or reduced butter are available. Rich in heat from capsaicin, a compound in chili peppers, Buffalo sauce can support metabolism and circulation in moderate amounts. It’s a versatile choice for adding spice and zest, but it’s best to consume in moderation, particularly for individuals sensitive to heat or dietary fats.
