What goes with Buffalo Sauce?
Buffalo sauce combines a vinegar-forward cayenne hot sauce with butter or another fat phase. Bottled wing sauces may instead use oil, stabilisers and additional seasonings. Treat it as a finished acidic, salty emulsion: it is not interchangeable in quantity with a concentrated chilli paste or a dry cayenne seasoning.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Buffalo Sauce?
The acidic chilli attack suits fatty, browned or starchy foods, while mild dairy adds a contrasting creamy bite. Lean or absorbent ingredients need a measured film rather than immersion. Mixing Buffalo sauce into a batter or mince distributes its seasoning internally, but too much liquid weakens the structure.
