Description

Buffalo wing sauce is a spicy and flavorful sauce originating from the United States, specifically from the city of Buffalo, New York. This sauce is the classic ingredient that gives its name and characteristic flavor to the famous Buffalo wings, a very popular dish in American cuisine that is increasingly being adopted in international gastronomy.

Buffalo sauce is made primarily with melted butter and cayenne pepper hot sauce, which gives it a perfect balance of creaminess, spiciness, and a slightly tangy note. It is known for its smooth texture and vibrant orange color, which enhances the flavor of fried or roasted chicken.

Regarding its properties, this sauce is low in carbohydrates and rich in fats from the butter, providing an intense flavor without adding sugars. However, due to its spicy content, it can help stimulate metabolism and provide a feeling of satiety.

In the Latin American context, although there is no exact term that replaces "Buffalo sauce," some approximate synonyms to describe it in the region are spicy wing sauce, chili butter sauce, or Buffalo-style sauce. In general, it is recognized as the iconic sauce for preparing wings with a spicy and buttery touch.
