Looking for a great buffalo sauce?

Hm...so one of my favorite things to do in the world, is go out with Jason, watch the fights, eat buffalo wings and drink beer. Don't really feel like that can be topped. The only problem is, Hooters and BWW is usually packed not to mention, finding a sitter is not always the easiest thing, so we have to compromise at times. Instead of going out, I found an easy way to order the UFC fights through Xbox, and all I needed now was a great way to make some buffalo wings. So here is a cheap, easy, and oh so delicious way to make buffalo wings.

What you will need:

• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1 bottle of your favorite hot sauce (Frank's Red Hot here baby!)
• 1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Dip (the dry kind)

Depending if you want bone in or not, I suggest buying pre-made and frozen wings. You can find regular unseasoned wings (bone-in) and chicken strips in the freezer aisle in Wal-Mart. I use the Great Value brand.

Let's get started:

1. If you buy the boneless chicken strips, let them sit out and de-thaw. Once they are cool enough to cook easily, cut them into bite size pieces.
2. In a small saucepan, melt your butter and add about hmm 1/4 to 1/2 cup of hot sauce, depending on how spicy you want it. Keep in mind, even 1/4 cup hot sauce makes a pretty dang hot sauce. If you don't like too much heat, start with 2 tbsp.
3. Once your butter has melted and your hot sauce has blended, add in your ranch packet. On a low heat, stir sauce until blended.
4. IF you over cook your sauce, it will be separate so make sure you use it within a few minutes of cooking and DO NOT overcook. Make sure you keep your sauce on a very low heat.

When you cook your chicken, your sauce can either be tossed with your chicken, or poured over top. You could always use your sauce to dip the chicken in.

I suggest, after coating your chicken in the sauce, throw the chicken back in to the oven for a few more minutes to keep that nice crisp crunch to it.

If you want to add some variety to your sauce, you can omit the ranch and add:

• 2tbsp garlic powder
• 3 tsp parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• Red pepper flakes
• 2 tbsp sweet and sour sauce
• Any other flavor you would like to hit your dish with.
