JOHN'S BUFFALO WING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine hot pepper sauce, butter, garlic powder, and celery seed in a saucepan; place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.

CLASSIC BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Mix the Louisiana hot sauce, butter, vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt in a medium saucepan.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sauce is well mixed. Set aside.
• Pour oil a few inches deep in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan and heat to 375 F. Add the wings in batches and fry for about 15 minutes until crispy and golden.
• Drain the wings on paper towels. Repeat with remaining wings.
• Preheat the oven to 300 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• When all the wings are cooked, place them into a large bowl and pour the sauce over the hot wings. Cover the bowl with a lid, and shake it to completely coat the wings. You can also toss the wings and sauce with a spoon or spatula.
• Slide the wings onto the lined baking sheet and bake for 2 to 3 minutes to make them extra crispy and allow the sauce to adhere.
• Serve with blue cheese dressing on the side and enjoy.

MILD BUFFALO WING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a pan over low heat, melt the butter. You can allow it to brown slightly if you like, it's up to you (slightly browning it gives it a nice flavor), but be careful that it doesn't brown too much or burn.
• Add the remaining ingredients and whisk together well.
• Simmer for only 3-5 minutes, whisking occasionally - if you do it for longer then the garlic powder will begin to cook and the sauce will separate a bit. If you're going to use the sauce for cooking other ingredients in (such as pouring over wings and baking), that's fine because that's what will happen anyhow, but if you're going to use it for dipping then you'll probably not want to heat it for long. As with any non-commercial butter/hotsauce sauce, the butter *will* separate a bit, that's normal.
• Note: I plan to experiment with ways to keep the butter from separating from the sauce, so that I can make up batches and keep it in the refrigerator, so stay tuned!
• Re the ancho chile powder: ancho is pretty mild, and the main flavor point you're looking for is smokiness. If you don't have ancho chile powder, you shouldn't substitute it with cayenne or regular chile powder because it won't taste the same. Cayenne will add a lot of heat, as will regular chile powder, and there's plenty of heat already in the Frank's Hot Sauce. If you don't have ancho, you can try smoked spanish paprika. Or if you really feel up to experimentation, you can try a couple drops of Liquid Smoke and regular mild (not hot) paprika or a little chile powder, making sure that you taste it as they're added gradually to get the amount of heat and smokiness you prefer.
