This sauce brings the bold, fiery flavor of Buffalo wings to your barbecue. It's a quick stovetop blend of hot sauce, ketchup, and butter, simmered until thick and glossy.
Use it as a glaze for grilled meats, a finishing sauce for smoked brisket, or a zesty dip for fries and onion rings. It keeps well in the fridge for up to a week.

Method
- Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the hot sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, butter, and celery salt.
- Stir frequently and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, until the butter has fully melted.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer slowly, stirring now and then, until the flavors come together and the sauce thickens a bit, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Taste and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
💡 Tips
- For a milder sauce, reduce the hot sauce and add a splash of water or extra ketchup.
- Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Brush it on grilled meats during the last few minutes of cooking for a sticky glaze.
