The easiest keto friendly buffalo sauce 

A good keto approved buffalo sauce is not something you can easily find on store shelves, and if you do, it may be pricey or have questionable ingredients for the keto diet. Honestly not sure why is that the case, as buffalo sauce is so easy to make and uses only a few easy-to-find ingredients. 

Nonetheless, due to this lack in the market, this has given us the opportunity to make an amazing low carb buffalo sauce that we can truly make our own.

If you enjoy your buffalo sauce spicier, you can make this recipe spicier, but, if you have a more sensitive palate, and cannot stand that heat, you can make your sauce less spicy.

This sauce will turn your chicken wings (or other pieces of chicken) into a delicious dish.

Tips for making the best keto buffalo sauce:

  1. The most important part is using a good quality hot sauce. Choose the types of hot sauce which are low in carbs and made without harmful additives and unwanted sugars. The perfect example is Franks Hot Sauce
  2. The levels of spiciness can be adjusted by adding cayenne pepper, and if you want to try something new and exciting add a ¼ teaspoon of smoked paprika. The smoked paprika will give a complex and deep flavor to your sauce.
  3. This recipe calls for garlic powder, but you can use raw garlic too. Still, if you are not quite skillful with a knife and turning garlic into a fine paste, I suggest you use garlic powder. Finding pieces of garlic in your sauce does not look quite appealing.

 

What is Buffalo sauce made of?

  • ½ cup Franks Hot Sauce
  • ½ cup cubed unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
