It’s a tremendous understatement to say that I love Plucker’s wing sauces. I’ve tried many of their bottled sauces and they are all absolutely fantastic. I devoured my last bottle of medium Buffalo sauce, so I had to resort to making a copycat recipe of Plucker’s medium Buffalo wings sauce. Oh, and then, all was right in the world again! The perfect amount of heat, just enough to wake me up but not so much to make me cry. Wonderful traditional wing flavor. And the right consistency, too. These are the wings that are destined to disappear in no time.
Perfect Heat and Flavor
I cut the recipe down so I could enjoy a small batch of copycat recipe of Plucker’s medium Buffalo wings for my lunch. No point in heating up my huge restaurant-style deep fryer for just a handful of wings. So, I used my Fry Daddy fryer instead. This little fryer gets a workout in my house. It’s the perfect size for a small batch of wings.

That’s A Lot Of Sauce!
This recipe does make for a big batch of sauce. And depending on how ‘saucy’ you like your wings, you may or may not use all of it. That’s ok. Just put any extra in an air-tight container in the fridge. It’ll keep for a few days.
‘Medium’ can mean different things to different folks. If you’re serving wings to a crowd, and are serving them up with this sauce, you might want to put the sauce on the side. I like to put it in these little serving cups. They’re perfect for dipping wings. If you toss wings with the sauce, you’re ‘stuck’ with it. With it on the side you can use a little or a lot!

I usually reach for the Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce when I make anything Buffalo-style. And sometimes I’ll go for Crystal Hot Sauce, which has a wonderful Louisiana-inspired flavor. You want a traditional cayenne sauce, and not something flavored like a habanero mango hot sauce!
