Healthy Buffalo Wing Sauce?!
Healthy Buffalo Wing Sauce?
We had some left over Buffalo Sauce from Mcdonalds by brother bought the other day. I put of the container on a chicken sandwich and it was very good. I was gonna put the other half on a Turkey burger but when I went to look it up on mcdonalds it had 7 grams of fat and 70 calories. Which took me by total surprize I thought it'd be better than BBQ sauce.
Buffalo Sauce is awesome though, and Mcdonalds isn't exactly a nutritionists dinner of choice. Is their a low fat version of buffalo sauce that isn't just plain old tabasco?

Your best bet is to use one with a low fat butter. That is the only ingredient that makes it "unhealthy" as far as i know.
that's a very good question. i have made my own, but that takes a while... so i looked it up & this is what i found...
archie moore makes buffalo sauce all-natural, sugar-free, no chemical msg or preservatives or additives
cosmic chile makes a whole line of buffalo sauces, all sugar-free, all natural, sodium-free and vinegar-free
good luck! : )
Hard to say since Buffalo wing sauce is nothing but butter and hot sauce. People pay out the nose for premix at the stores I make it home all the time.
Yes I will admit there some out there that can be duplicated at home but butter and hot sauce works for me.
Buffalo sauce is traditionally equal parts melted butter and liquid hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco).
A lowfat version would be to just use straight Tabasco, I suppose. It would be much hotter, though.
True Buffalo Wing sauce is Franks Red Hot and melted butter, combined. So if you want something close to the real taste of the original sauce, I would recommend just using low-fat butter substitute...it won't be quite as rich and flavorful, but it's the closest you're going to get, flavor-wise.
