buffalo hot sauce

Listings show a range of heat; common label examples include “Spice Level: Medium” and “Spice Level: Hot.”

Common ingredients include cayenne or aged cayenne peppers and garlic (for example, “aged cayenne peppers and garlic powder” or combinations like “cayenne red pepper, tamarind and garlic”).

Buffalo sauces are used as a pour-or-shake condiment on tacos, pizza and wings and as a dip, marinade, glaze, or topping for many dishes.

Beyond the classic cayenne/garlic profile, variants include twists such as dill-pickle–infused buffalo and parmesan garlic buffalo-style sauces.

Some buffalo sauces are shelf-stable for ambient storage before opening. Many products advise refrigerating after opening to maintain freshness.
