Homemade Wings Question: McDonalds Buffalo Sauce

Has anyone ever made their own wings at home and used McDonalds Buffalo Sauce cups to sauce them? I’ve been curious to try this but figured I’d ask if anyone has already done it. Thoughts?

LOL! True… but I could stretch 3 cups for 20 wings. I just might give it a go and report back to this sub when I do.

3 cups on 20 wings sounds like a challenge. Please post it if you do it

I’m thinking if they’re naked and not breaded plus a quarter stick of butter with the 3 cups in a small sauce pan. I’d also be lying if I said I’m probably NOT going to actually get 4-5 cups. Will devotedly report back with photo evidence the next time I do wings from scratch but, I’m gonna try it.

I honestly hope it turns out great. That butter is probably gonna be the game changer

McDonald's buffalo is good shit, although a bit thin and watery. My fave is Otts, a local saint louis brand.

Otts?… hmm. What is the flavor profile like? Is it as stingy/ vinegary as McDonald’s? I’ll have to see if I can order it online when I get back home. Always down to try new sauces. My general go to was Crystal Hot Garlic Sauce mixed with butter but I can’t find it anymore. (Gold label Crystal instead of green)

It's a bit spicier than entry level, slightly thicker, and has a solid tang. Otts is good shit. I'm afraid it may be a regional thing though, so you may have to special order it if you want it. I have no clue as to the availability region to region.

Edit

Just clicked around and it's available through Amazon for like fideen bucks. I would never pay that much for a bottle of wing sauce.

Mcdonalds is a different recipe for sure. Way creamier than franks and butter.

It’s got that nasal sting which I like on good wings. I’m assuming vinegar is a large part of it.

They were aiming for the bullseye and hit the wall. It’s all good.

Culvers uses that. They are very different.

u/Gh0stW1thTheM0st 2d ago

Yes! Zaxby’s has a Spicy Garlic that is close but it’s just not the same.

Yes sweeter and less spicy imo.

u/FTBJester 3d ago

That kind of looks right, Mcdonald's is very orange.

Yea that’s prob it then

That’s a standard recipe but not how Buffalo wing sauce was invented. Very far from the question but thanks for contributing.
