Is buffalo sauce keto friendly?

The answer is yes. There are very little carbs in buffalo sauce and that is why it is used in so many keto recipes.

In general, most hot sauces are low carb as they are usually made with vinegar and chili pepperslike cayenne peppers. I often use Frank’s hot sauce, Tabasco hot sauce or Aldi’s Burman’s brand of hot sauce and all are low carb.

So if you like spicy food and are on a keto diet, you can safely smother your food with buffalo or hot sauce.

The 3 ingredients I used.

I just used butter, hot sauce and garlic in my buffalo sauce. That’s it. Some people add Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder instead of garlic. But I like to keep it simple so I can whip it up quickly whenever a recipe calls for it.

If you want to add even more heat, you can try adding a bit of cayenne powder. For me that is too much heat but that is an option.
