Applebees Buffalo Sauce

[grinningghost]

Just craving some of this stuff. I live in Buffalo, and almost NOWHERE but Buffalo can you get really awesome Buffalo sauce - nobody does it "right".

But Applebees does an incredible spin on Buffalo sauce - it's thick, but it tastes just like the real deal. My mouth is watering - I need some.

The Varsity Club has some good Buffalo sauce.

I've never had it at Applebees, but I live in Buffalo (Hamburg) too. I usually equate good wing sauce with Frank's Hot Sauce- gets my mouth watering every time- and I don't typically like spicy foods.

Then you have to get to Applebees and try this stuff. It tastes like Frank's, but it's thick. Like when you put it on a chicken finger, it sticks like a dip. It is soooooooooooo delicious. I think I gotta call that Carside to Go hotline right now.

Actually, there is a gallon jug of buffalo wing sauce that restaurants get and I'm pretty sure that it's Franks.

I just looked through my restaurant recipes cookbook, but it doesn't have the recipe for that. The only thing I can think of that might make it thicker is using oil instead of the traditional butter.
