Embrace the Buffalo Flavor
For those familiar with my blog, it’s no secret that I have a deep affection for all things buffalo. In fact, I’ve even developed a recipe for keto buffalo chicken cheese chips! With over 15 low-carb buffalo sauce recipes already available and more on the way, I wanted to share my easy keto buffalo sauce recipe with you today. With just three ingredients, this sauce can be whipped up in minutes, ready for whenever you need a burst of buffalo deliciousness.
The Keto-Friendliness of Buffalo Sauce
Now, you might be wondering whether buffalo sauce aligns with a keto diet. The answer is a resounding yes! Buffalo sauce contains minimal carbs, making it a popular choice in many keto recipes.
Hot sauces, in general, tend to be low in carbs as they typically consist of vinegars and chili peppers like cayenne peppers. I personally recommend sauces such as Frank’s hot sauce, Tabasco hot sauce, or Aldi’s Burman’s brand, which are all keto-friendly and bursting with flavor.
So, if you’re a spice enthusiast following a keto regimen, feel free to generously drench your meals in buffalo or hot sauce.
A Trio of Ingredients
Now, let’s dive into the simplicity of this keto buffalo sauce. With just butter, hot sauce, and garlic, you can create a sauce that adds a kick to any recipe. Some individuals opt for Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder as substitutes for garlic, but I prefer to keep it simple for the sake of quick preparation. For those seeking an extra fiery flavor, a dash of cayenne powder can be incorporated, although it’s not for the faint of heart.
Crafting Your Keto Buffalo Sauce
Creating your own keto buffalo sauce couldn’t be easier. Just follow these steps:
- Add butter and crushed garlic to a saucepan.
- Once the butter has melted, allow the garlic to cook for about a minute, allowing it to infuse with the butter.
- Whisk in the hot sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer for a few minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the stove and transfer the sauce to a bowl or jar. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
