Homemade Buffalo Style Sauce

I recently discovered the joy buffalo chicken wings and completely fell in love with the spicy, crispy little treats. I absolutely needed to replicate this dish so after scouring the internet to learn how to make super crispy, oven baked chicken wings (spoiler alert, use a mix of baking powder, salt and pepper) all I needed was an awesome buffalo sauce and this is what I came up with.

You will need:
1 medium onion
5 cloves of garlic
10 scotch bonnet chillies
10 finger chillies
1 tsp vegetable (rapeseed) oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
300ml cider vinegar
100ml water
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
100g unsalted butter
1 tsp dark brown sugar
A pinch of salt and pepper

Method:
1. Roughly chop the onion, garlic and chillies.
2. Pour the oil in to a medium sized saucepan and heat over a medium heat.
3. Add the onions to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and colour lightly.
4. Add in the garlic and chillies (including seeds) and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes.
5. Tip in the paprika, stir through the mix and cook for another minute.
6. Slowly pour in the vinegar, water and worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly.
7. Turn up the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling turn down the heat and allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes, stir occasionally to prevent it from catching.
8. Take the pan off the heat, break up the butter and add to the pan, tip in the sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted.
9. Allow the mixture to cool before pouring into a food processor and blending until smooth.
10. Check the consistency of the sauce, if it is too thin add it back into the pan, put on the heat, bring it to a steady simmer and allow it to reduce until it reaches the desired consistency.
11. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes:
To make a really decent hot chilli sauce simply remove the butter and sugar from the recipe.
