Oh boy oh boy! It’s time for some good ole wing happiness! These Valentina hot sauce Buffalo wings are soooooo good I found myself licking the sauce bowl. First, and foremost, let’s talk flavor. Valentina hot sauce is crazy yummy. It has just the right pepper taste. Kinda earthy. A little vinegary, too. And heat? Yes, it has some of that too but it’s really not that hot. It’ll wake you (and your taste buds) up but it won’t hurt you. Add the sauce to a few more ingredients and make a Buffalo sauce and you’ve got magic. These are some mighty-good Buffalo-style wings. The kind you’ll be wanting to make time and time again!
Absolutely Delicious Wings
Valentina hot sauce Buffalo wings sauce has the right consistency, sticking to your wings and staying there. Just enough. And if by chance some does drip off your wings and onto your plate, you’re going to want to sop it back up. Or heck, we’re friends here. Stick your finger in it and finish it off. You really don’t want to waste any. It’s delicious!
Heat, Your Way
Now, like I said, this sauce isn’t crazy hot. To me. I’m not a hot sauce aficionado. I don’t spend my time chasing the next crazy hot. But I also understand each of us have different definitions of what is ‘hot’. Well, fear not, because it’s up to you how hot this sauce it. Just adjust the ratio of butter to hot sauce! Want it hotter? Less butter, more hot sauce. Tamer? Yep, you guessed it. More butter, less hot sauce. It’s just that easy!
I make a lot of Buffalo wing sauces at home. The recipe below is my my basic recipe. I substitute whichever hot sauce I am using but the rest of the ingredients stay the same. It’s a great way to really highlight a hot sauce’s taste without burying it.
