buffalo sauce
Spicy orange condiment
Buffalo sauce is a spicy, tangy orange-red sauce made from hot sauce and butter, originally created for chicken wings in Buffalo, New York.
The flavor balances cayenne heat with buttery richness and a vinegar bite.
It's now applied to countless foods: buffalo cauliflower, buffalo chicken dip, buffalo shrimp.
Anything called "buffalo" typically means it's coated in this sauce.
