Garlic Buffalo Wing Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 cloves garlic – finely minced
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup cayenne pepper hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Finely mince the garlic.
2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat until just melted, 2–3 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook gently, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, 1–2 minutes.
4. Whisk in the hot sauce until smooth. Raise heat to medium-low and bring just to a bare simmer.
5. Whisk in the Worcestershire sauce and kosher salt. Simmer, whisking, until glossy and slightly thickened and no butter separates, 2–3 minutes.
6. Use immediately to coat hot, cooked wings: place 2–3 lb wings in a bowl, pour over the sauce, and toss until evenly coated. Or hold the sauce on the lowest heat up to 30 minutes, whisking occasionally.
7. For make-ahead, cool and refrigerate airtight up to 1 week. Rewarm gently over low heat, whisking, until re-emulsified before using.
