Buffalo Sauce

Buffalo sauce

A sauce originating from the city of its namesake, Buffalo in New York, in the year 1939. The original sauce was created at the Anchor Bar, by Teressa Bellissimo, and it is known as the "Home of the original chicken wing." as it was chicken wings that were served in this sauce.

Even today buffalo sauce is closely associated with chickenwings. It is often considered to be very similar in taste to BBQ sauce, but at a base level, there are differences. Buffalo sauce is made with a vinegar-based cayenne pepper sauce mixed with melted butter.

In comparison to BBQ sauce, buffalo sauce is generally more hot, as in spicier as far as chillies are concerned. With a sharp tang due to the vinegar base. Whereas BBQ sauce is more savoury, smokier and sweeter, generally.
