With just a few simple ingredients from your garden (or from the local grocery) you can put together your own Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce in about an hour!

Recipe:
Equipment Needed:
A knife for cutting your peppers and garlic
A spatula
A fine collander or Sieve
Some kind of glass container for your finished salt (check below for links to jars I use for storage)
Ingredients:
3 tspn - Kosher Salt - OPTIONS: Pickling salt or any salt that you like
3 tspn - garlic powder
32 - Cayenne Peppers
10 - Cloves of garlic
3 Cups - White Vinegar
Xanthan gum - OPTIONAL
Directions:
Wash all material well (especially if store bought)
Start the white vinegar heating on the stove, we are going for a simmer (cover it with a lid)
Cut the green tops of the peppers (or pull them) and crush and peel the garlic
Add all your peppers to the boiling or simmering vinegar, including the salt and garlic powder
Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 20-30 minutes (I suggest leaving it covered during this time, but it's optional. It will have a less vinegary type taste if you remove the lid)
When time is up, pour mixture into a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids) and blend until most of the peppers and garlic and blended.
Place back on heat and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes until the volume is reduced to about half
Remove from heat, place back into blender for the second time and blend until smooth
Pour sauce through a fine colander or sieve and press the liquid out.
You can optionally add some Xanthan Gum to thicken it (DON'T USE TOO MUCH!)
Pour the mixture into a bottle for storage
It tastes best if you let it sit in the fridge for a few days, but it can be used straight away on your fresh baked wings!

Buffalo Style hot wings are one of my family’s absolute favorite homemade dinner treats! We’ve tried lots of store-bought wing sauces before, so I decided to make my own. I promise you won’t regret giving it a try because it’s as tasty as Franks Red Hot sauce but Homegrown and even better!
Also, if you are curious about how we make our extra crispy oven-baked wings, let me know!

That’s awesome! I actually am going to be finishing up the franks traditional recipe soon. It’s fermented just like franks does it and my daughter is doing the taste test. She loves them too!
I've lived in Buffalo my whole life. For sure Frank's or Frank's style. Cut it with pre-melted butter for wings that have been deep fried for 12 minutes @ 350 fahrenheit. Chunky blue cheese. Fries. Beer. Friends if you want to share.
@swahler34 now that sounds like one heck of an afternoon! I’m glad you like the recipe, nothing can beat a good crispy deep-fried wing in an amazing buffalo sauce!
I'm sweating, even my eyes... just watching this 😮😮😮
😆 it can definitely turn the heat up! I love it because it’s so tasty too!
Perfect timing. I've got a bunch of cayennes ready in the garden
If you like franks or hot wings, it’s well worth it!
If you can make it a day or two in advance and let it rest in the fridge, the flavors really come out!
Two of my favorite things! Hot sauce and Hot red head! Your a lucky man!
😂 I must admit, they are two of my favorite things as well! I appreciate that!
My preference is for videos that take less than 15 minutes, but you put together a truly enjoyable experience. Frank's is my "go to" sauce, so thanks for having that as your standard.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks I appreciate that!
Great Video, thanks for the information!...👍👍👍... Huge Franks red hot fan!
I’m glad you liked it! I love franks as well, we use it all the time.
If you try out the recipe, I love to hear what you think about it as well. Best wishes to you!
Thank you for this recipe. Simple and straightforward
It was my pleasure to share, thank you for taking the time to say so as well.
If you do give it a try, I’d love to hear what you think about it. It’s probably one of my favorites that’s quick and easy to do and really tasty!
I LOVE this channel! Just found it tonight and subscribed!
You are so very kind! Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it and I really do appreciate you not only watching and subscribing, but taking the time to say so here.
I have to tell you that’s one of my favorite hot sauces to make especially for wings. It’s so easy and it taste so good. If you make it, I’d love to hear what you think about yourself!
I'm so happy I found your channel. I got a bumper crop of cayenne this year 26lbs so a lot of sauce to make, can\t wait to make this.
Very nice! I’m glad you stopped by! I have a fermented franks hot sauce recipe I’ll be putting out in the next couple of weeks too. I also experimented and have been fermenting some for almost a year! I’m waiting until exactly a year has passed to finish it. I’m hoping it tastes crazy good and is a really simple way to preserve them too!
Two of my favorite things! A lesson from my main man Doc and hot chicken wings!!! Great video as always my brotha!! I legit dig every time you put one out! You do such as a phenomenal job!
Thanks brother! Means the world to me to see you in here! And the huge compliment as well! 🤗
Great video. I'm making it today! Thanks 🙏👍
That’s awesome! I’m glad you liked it, and I really hope you like the recipe as well. I’d love to hear what you think about it after you’ve tried it and if you made me changes or think something should be added or taken away.
Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it!
I loved the video. I will definitely try this one and the Louisiana hot sauce.
I’m so glad you liked it, and I hope you really enjoy the outcome as well!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on both of them if you give them a try!
Thank YOU so Much for sharing
I’m glad it helped! If you decide to make it, I’d love to hear what you think about it and if you added or change thing in the recipe. I always love hearing what you guys think of this stuff!
Ty. For this simple recipe. I make different hot sauces just for ourselves and always look for more. Keep up the good job….
I’m glad you liked it, and if you try it out I’d love to hear what you think about it as well!
I’m kind of the same way I make a lot of different kinds of hot sauces and experiment. Last year I was experimenting with a habanero pineapple hot sauce. I love fermented hot sauces, so that’s what I went with in that case, but I haven’t quite got the recipe right yet!
I absolutely love hot sauce and salsa!
I love hot sauce I make them all the times when ingredients are in season, but this one looks very easy to make,thank you for sharing your recipe with us,love what you say at the end of each video. GodBless from Australia 🇦🇺
Hi again!
This one is really easy to make and it’s quite good. I just ran out and my peppers are way behind this year so I’m kind of wishing I had at least frozen a few last year!
Those four things have really helped me out life! it keeps me grounded, and it helps me to keep a positive attitude as possible with life gets a little strange!
When I saw the color
I knew you got it. Good job and thank you. I’m going to grow my own peppers and try it. I’ll let you know how I did.
That’s awesome! Please do let me know what you think of the recipe and if you make any changes that you feel improve it, I’d love to hear about them as well I’m always on the hunt for the best hot sauce possible!
I need to try this. Excellent tip.
I’m glad to hear it! I’m also glad you liked it as well. You get a try I’d love to hear what you think about it, we still make a lot of this every year, as we love, hot wings!
Very good video, love your four balancing tricks for life. I’ve tried boiling chilli flakes in corn oil and vegetable oil, simmering for 8 hours, then strain and bottle, cook your stir fry in this. Ayeee!!
Will be sure to try this for wings for sure. Thank you
Ohhhh! That sounds amazing! Hot and tasty too! Thank you for this!
Anyone who sees this i recommend adding a tsp of lime juice if you have it. If not still perfect, but the lime juice makes the cayenne more prominent and helps the flavors settle.
That’s a great advice, thank you for sharing this! I’m definitely going to give it a try!
Thanks for your recipe. Greetings from Germany.👍
Howdy from Texas!
It was my pleasure to share, and if you do try to make this recipe, I’d love to hear what you think about how it tastes and anything you decide it might need, or could be changed, or added to make it even better!
You are too funny, great video
Lol thank you so much! I’m glad you like the video too. If you decide to get this recipe, I tried love you do you think about it as well! Thank you so much for your comment!
😆excellent video can't wait to try! Laughed my t@ts off love it.
🤣😂🤣 I’m glad you liked it!
@@TexasGardenDoc great channel so far very interesting and fresh, I like your style keep up the good work. 👍🏼
You are so very kind to say so. Thank you, and I’m glad you enjoy it!
Thanx Bro!
Absolutely my pleasure! If you decide to make someone your own, I’d love to hear what you think about it too. It’s always good to hear other peoples opinions, it helps improve what I get to eat at my house!
I'm a hot sauce guy so this is something I will enjoy doing. Thanks for sharing!
You won’t be disappointed! We make this quite a bit nowadays when we have cayennes!
@@TexasGardenDoc I'll give it a try with some dried Chilies de Arbol. I'm not growing cayenne chilies this year.
@@desertfox3860 That doesn't sound too bad either. Those things do have some kick!
My daughter loves hot sauce so I sent her this video thanks I’ll be making this
That’s great! If she loves hot sauce she won’t be disappointed! I’d love to hear what she thinks about it!
Nice I like what you do
Thank you, you are very kind! I’m glad you liked it and if you decide to give it a try, let me know if you have questions. I’d love to help!
I use franks on wings and injust thicken it up with extra cayenne. ups the heat a little bit too.
I like the way you think! A good bit of heat on a wing is excellent, but I never really thought about thicken the sauce using cayenne pepper. Brilliant!
I use xanthum gum to thicken my fermented hot sauce. I made a slurry and added it while blending.
It’s great stuff! I have used it as well, I have a tendency to overdo it a bit. 😂 it definitely works very well!
I'm indonesian. This recipe reminds me of a chili sauce we have called sambal lampung. But iirc we don't strain the chili and garlic (I guess not to be wasteful?). Definitely going to do a side by side flavor taste now!
Howdy from Texas!
Definitely leaving the peppers in leads to much deeper flavor! When I make my regular fermented hot sauce, I always leave the material in from the original vegetables. I think it adds a good depth to it myself. I’d love to hear what you think about the side-by-side comparison, and what you would do to improve it, or change it as well. I’m always looking to add and tweak my recipes for a great tasting sauce!
I am new to your channel there's some great content on it thank you for sharing.
You are very kind, thank you. I’m glad you liked it and thankful to have you here!
@@TexasGardenDoc You are very kind I am Scottish and I appreciate all that you do sir I love you all god bless America.
And God bless you. The world has become such a big place, we need to connect with people and share what we know. You never know what skill you have that may be valuable to someone else. Thank you so much for being here!
@@TexasGardenDoc I am a retired chef and I will continue to support guys like you who have a passion for food god bless you my friend.
Thank you. I’m humbled. I appreciate you and what you stand for!
You can cook it in a lot less vinegar, that way you are going to have a creamy consistency, you always can add a bit of vinegar if you like it a bit liquid.
That’s a fantastic tip!
One of the things that is tricky about hot sauces is getting the consistency that you want along with making sure that the pH is shelf stable. Particularly with things like Frank’s red hot sauce, the ginger to saltiness ratio, it’s a little difficult to pin down.
I like this idea of using lesson adding more later if you need it. Thank you so much for sharing!
Long time no upload! Keep um coming
😂 still got more in the queue I gotta get out too!
I wish I saw this before I made my hot sauce yesterday. I might need to do a second simmer.
I’m sure that the hot sauce you made was wonderful! If you do decide to give this one a try though, I’d love to hear what you think. Especially if you decide to add some thing or take something away. I can always learn something new that I hadn’t thought of before and I appreciate that!
Just watched this recipe twice, I am currently growing jalapeños, caynne, and regular peppers. I am going to make this sauce for Christmas gifts. Lol! Loved the video. Chucled a few times! It looks really easy to make. Did you use pickling vinegar 7%?
Lol yeah it’s all good fun! It is really simple! I did not, I used plain old white vinegar. You could definitely use the pickling vinegar though, you might just start with a slightly less amount and work up to the flavor you like.
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment, and I hope everyone loves their Christmas gifts!
👍
I’m glad you liked it, and I really hope it helped you out as well!
If you give this one to try, I would love to hear what you think of it!
Whoa! Yummy 😋
They are soo good and so easy to make! Thanks for taking the time comment and I hope you get a chance to make the franks sauce!
Good on a beef stew All purpose beef stew good old lamb chops barbecue lamb chops country fried steak and white grape
I love it in chicken and dumplings as well! REALLY good on chicken fried steak!
Love this recipe. Looks delicious. Just ordered cayenne pepper seeds and will grow it this year. Thanks so much for the tutorial. But where's the oven fried chicken recipe?🤔😁
That’s fantastic! It really is an excellent sauce and it’s really good on wings too.
What’s funny is you’re actually the first person to ask about that recipe!
I’ll definitely consider putting something together for it and posting it up as a follow up. I also have the other version of this sauce video filmed as well. I just need to edit it and get it up on UA-cam.
Thank you so much for your comment! If you do end up making it, I would love to find out what you think of it!
@@TexasGardenDoc I can't wait to see the video. And I'll definitely let you know. Just ordered my seeds from etsy yesterday. 😁
Fantastic! I’d love to hear how they turn out for you. Have you ever grown them before? Peppers are really a neat plant because they are pretty easy to grow once you get them going. They’re not as finicky and susceptible to as many diseases. It say tomatoes or something like that. If you have any questions when you get them growing, just let me know, I’d love to help you if I can, with any questions, you have about the peppers!
@@TexasGardenDoc I've grown jalapenos and sweet peppers. I've successfully gotten a habanero to transplant outside and multiple sweet pepper varieties this year. But never tried to grow this type. I can't wait.
Very cool!
They are quite prolific, and one plant to put out lots and lots and lots of peppers. I wish you the best of success with it, and I’d love to hear how it turns out for you!
Would corn startch work as a thickening agent?
It absolutely would! I don’t believe it will alter the flavor too much, but I would be careful not to overdo it for sure. Just like anything else when using cornstarch start with a little and work your way up. I’ve never tried it, but it seems like it would be just fine. I’d love to know how it works out for you if you do though!
How long will this keep in the fridge? Or can I can it?
Usually a few months of you are picking it fresh from the garden. It really depends a lot on how big of a piece it is or if it’s damaged. A bigger piece will last longer something that is damaged or small may not last as long.
Hope that helps!
I don't think you need to detail that you will be using a knife 🤣
We'll see you using it!
Lol. Fair assessment!
Big bag of Orange habaneros
That would be delicious!
Out of curiosity, does it ruin your pot? Or make the next 10 things you cook in it spicy? If so any cleaning tips? Thanks for the video, I am re-invigorated to try this again!! First and last batch i ever made ruined a pan, pepper sprayed everyone out of the house and almost caused a divorce. LOL
Oh my goodness! It sounds like your last experience was not that great at all!
I haven’t had any problem with it ruining a pot. Did it scorch the pot or stain it, what happened to it? Mine come up clean every time and I don’t have much of an issue with lingering taste or smell either.
I will say the bottle that you store it in will contain that spicy taste and smell if you don’t soak it in vinegar, water and soap, several times, and let it sit.
I usually gas the house to when I cook this inside, so I try to do it when no one‘s home and won’t be home for a while, or I have a electric hot plate. I can do it outside as well which is probably the best bet.
I hope that helps and I hope you can keep your marriage together as well, lol if you have any other questions or problems, let me know maybe we can figure it out!
@@TexasGardenDoc Thanks Doc, all great tips. Not really sure about the pot, maybe it was cheap or Teflon coated, I don't remember. I will keep you posted and thanks for the link for the bottles.
@user-hn9bu3lp1s it might have been the acidity that ruined it then. I was thinking maybe it got too hot for too long or something like that. Everything I use as either old aluminum pots, or stainless steel pots, and I haven’t had much trouble with those so hopefully you won’t in the next round!
Try Trinidad scorpion peppers and this recipe 😂
Now that would be some spicy spicy sauce! Lol.
I actually made it with some.7 pot peppers last year. I only use the rind and none of the seeds or ribs were in there with it, and it was still extremely hot, but extremely tasty as well!
@@TexasGardenDoc with flavor
@Jwasin3_1 for sure!
Don’t forget to tell people open all the doors, windows and wear a respirator because you Will choke while cooking….
It can absolutely be very potent when those oils get into the air!
For me, it doesn’t bother me too much and this kind of recipe with these peppers but I always make sure to do it when the family is gone because they do definitely respond to it.
Really great piece of advice actually thank you!

I don’t understand. Sorry
Should do better editing with the snorting ( snot snorting ) ...
Sorry I let you down, I will do better next time…
So much more garlic and vinegar than I expected. And the extra reduction after the blend was a surprise. I am definitely gonna play with this recipe.
That’s great! Definitely give it a go, and I’d love to hear your results and any changes and additions you make too!
The vinegar is what I’ve played with the most to try to get it close. There’s definitely a fine balance between the taste of the original between vinegar and the Cayenne flavor. Since this isn’t a fermented recipe, you don’t quite get the signature cayenne flavoring as much. I’d love to see what you come up with, though, so I hope you share!
