The base of this recipe is low sodium hot sauce. I have a homemade salt free hot sauce recipe, or you can use a store-bought version that fits in with your sodium needs.
Unsalted butter is the other component of this sauce, giving it a wonderful richness and sweet flavor.
This hot sauce is also made with a low sodium Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, and garlic powder. These give the buffalo sauce a depth of flavor and a delicious savory taste.
Additions and Substitutions
I used my homemade low sodium hot sauce as the base of this dish – but you can use a premade version if you wish. Make sure to read labels, as many hot sauces can contain salt.
You can add in other spices to give this sauce a different flavor: onion powder, smoked paprika, or thyme would all change the taste!
White vinegar is classic in buffalo sauce, but you can try this recipe with apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, or even a champagne vinegar for a twist.
How To Make This Recipe
Step 1: In a medium pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Step 2: Pour in the hot sauce.
Step 3: Add in the white vinegar, garlic powder, and low sodium Worcestershire sauce to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Step 4: Pour the buffalo sauce into a jar or toss with chicken wings for a delicious appetizer!
Recipe FAQs
Our low sodium buffalo sauce recipe has just 12mg sodium per serving. If you are ordering buffalo sauce at a restaurant, check with your server on nutritional amounts – most buffalo sauces are made with salt, so be sure to check ingredients before ordering.
Most buffalo sauce recipes call for Frank’s hot sauce, but we used our homemade low sodium hot sauce recipe instead. It has fresh peppers, garlic, vinegar, and some spices for a delicious alternative that is salt-free and has just 1mg sodium per serving.
If you have leftover sauce, store it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. The butter may solidify in the refrigerator, so be sure to heat up the sauce before using.
