This copycat recipe tastes just like the signature Buffalo Wild Wings medium sauce! I used to work at BWW many years ago and I just never got tired of their sauces! They have so many good ones. Now that I don’t work there anymore, I wanted to have some of that delicious sauce at home!

I am starting out by sharing the BWW classic medium sauce copycat, but I also have the hot sauce and spicy garlic sauce copycats. Although they are VERY similar, I will be sharing those recipes in their own posts, so that they can be searched for separately.

I love being able to make these classic sauces at home and you will too! The Buffalo Wild Wings medium sauce is a classic and always tastes great! It is the sauce that comes to my mind when I think of classic buffalo sauce.

Of course you can use this copycat BWW medium sauce on wings, tenders and sandwiches. I love using it on so much more too! It makes a great buffalo ranch dressing when added to your favorite ranch, it is a terrific dipping sauce for veggies pizza or fries. The possibilities are endless!

This copycat Buffalo Wild Wings medium sauce is quick easy to make at home and uses a lot of pantry items you may already have at home! I recommend using specifically the classic Frank’s hot sauce called for in the recipe to get the flavor as close to the original as possible.

Cuisine American

Equipment

• 1 small pot
• 1 Measuring Cups
• 1 Measuring Spoons
• 1 Whisk
• 1 bow with lid medium, about 4 cup size

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup Frank's Original Hot Sauce
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/8 tsp course ground black pepper
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tsp water
• 2 tsp cornstarch

Instructions

 

• In your small pan over medium heat, combine all ingredients EXCEPT egg yolk, water and cornstarch.
• Heat over medium heat until boiling whisking often. Once full boil is reached, reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins whisking occasionally.
• Remove pan from heat and allow mixture to col for 10 minutes.
• While sauce is cooling, whisk egg yolk and 2 tsp water together med bowl until pale yellow. About 1 to 2 min.
• Whisk in cornstarch until dissolved.
• Slowly drizzle hot sauce mixture from pot into egg yolk mixture in bowl, while constantly whisking. (see notes)
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

• Use Frank’s hot sauce for results closest to the original
• Canola oil can be used in place of vegetable oil.
• Slowly adding the cooled hot sauce mixture to the yolk mixture while whisking constantly is important because:
  • adding the warm mixture SLOWLY prevents egg from scrambling, so you won’t have chunky sauce.
  • Whisking constantly creates an emulsion and prevents the oil from separating.
