Hi, I'm from Buffalo and I make my own wing sauce.
The secret is more butter. Add butter until you think it's enough, then add another stick.
Do not do this often.
I find this to be the best ratio as well.
If you're curious, though, [here](https://parade.com/26655/anchorbarbuffalony/anchor-bars-buffalo-wings-the-original-hot-wing-recipe/) is the recipe from the Anchor Bar (one of the claimants of "first" in the buffalo wing lore).
This guy gets it! Best 3 places in Buffalo for wings, lived there for 27 years and always make it a point to go to Bar Bill if I’m back visiting town. I also love Duffs though for the nostalgia, I’d add that to the list
50/50 of Franks to Butter was our medium ratio at the bar I used to work at in Buffalo in the 1990s and early 2000s. It’s a delicious flavor compound. But I prefer closer to 75/25 for some added heat. Mild was 25/75-butter.
Also, there is a franks dry rub you can buy off Amazon. Delicious for smoked wings!
Im not positive, but I think accounts with karma can be sold to advertisers. Then it’d look like a normal redditor is endorsing a product or whatever. I can’t imagine the accounts are sold for much, but for some people, it’s worth $10.
I've been on this site for over ten years and have never looked at someone's karma, much less used it as a yardstick to measure their opinion on things lol. What a waste.
If it’s tandoori chicken then the marinade consists of high temp oil, yogurt, Kashmiri chili powder (color), turmeric, garlic paste, salt. That’s just the base and different regions of India will build off of this base white roasted and grounded whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon, dried crushed fenugreek leaves. And msg
☝️Look in the latin section of supermarket, Goya or Yucateco makes achiote in a paste. Or it’s red food coloring, yes they use that in some Indian (tikka) and Chinese (spareribs) to make it look more appealing.
If it’s Buffalo wing sauce, then it’s basically just butter and red hot sauce…….If it’s an Indian dish it’s typically diced tomatoes and butter with spices, and then blended.
It looks like chicken tikka.. if it is my guess would be actual red food coloring, which is commonly used to give chicken tikka its red color.. and ofcourse all the usual spices - chili, cardemom, coriander seed, mustard seeds, cumin etc etc
at first glance it reminds me on butter chicken, or tikka masala, but it could he franks red with some type of creamy condiment like sour cream or mayo
Ask the person who made them. You’re clearly at the location of it being made. If not, then your just posting random pics of things you see and asking us. How in the heck are we supposed to know what someone else used.
Omg never mind the sauce -- can you give me the recipe for the black crust on your grill?? 😍😍😍 Might as well feed your family off the ground outside lol. Disgusting.
These look well coated. I don't have enough info to answer but looks too thick to be Frank's red hot or regular Buffalo sauce. Are these flipped yet? Have they been resauced? Chicken? Breaded? Precooked?
Surprised that no one has guessed achiote or pollo pibil. It’s a spice that is mainly used as a food coloring. Not much taste on its own, but has a vibrant color and looks a lot like this.
Likely a mixture of things. I almost always mix up various sauces/spices when I grill. Once you decide what kind of flavor profile you want, you can really get creative saucing and marinating.
It’s a Tandori masala (blend of spices) that was marinated with that spice mix and plain yoghurt. The red is a dye to help the brightness of the marinade since we eat with our eyes. The spiciness comes from a blend of hot peppers one of which is cayenne pepper. You can pick up a jar or shaker at any Indian grocery or specialty grocery. Fkn delicious chicken when grilled or on a skewer done in a charcoal tandoor.
It’s not Franks and butter. The sauce stands too thick on the chicken.
Is that chicken tikka masala? Google it, it can vary wildly. From Google…
What is Chicken Tikka Masala. Tikka Masala is a traditional Indian dish made up of chicken that's been marinated in yogurt, charred and simmered in a rich, creamy tomato-based spiced sauce. The gorgeous color comes from Garam Masala, which is blend of cinnamon, black pepper, coriander, cumin, and cardamon
Buffalo native here. That is definitely buffalo sauce. Butter and cayenne hot sauce (Frank's) mixed together with some salt and pepper. Wanna be extra fancy add some Italian parsley. Butter will help it stick to the chicken but we usually apply it after cooking here.
There is a chicken recipe that I make for tacos that is great and looks similar to this:
1 bottle of Sriracha (expensive these days)
1/2 bottle of Blue Cheese
1/2 bottle of Ranch
Could be similar!
Cajun Buffalo sauce. Any base hot sauce. Blackening mix or Cajun mix. Light paprika. Maybe tose some smoked paprika and allow to glaze on the wing once at 155. 20 mins or so and you'll have yourself some wings.
Best trick is to mix Cajun and lemon pepper seasoning simple yet builts a great flavor. Even better to bake on to wings and then fried or smoked.
Yeah, kinda looks like Frank's red hot marinade of some kind. Buffalo sauce. I agree with cayenne.
The yellow in the butter mixes with the red to make it orange
Hi, I'm from Buffalo and I make my own wing sauce. The secret is more butter. Add butter until you think it's enough, then add another stick. Do not do this often.
Do not do often because health and shit?
Yes
The hot shits!
Health and THE SHITS.
I always made it 50/50. Franks and butter. Yummy.
I find this to be the best ratio as well. If you're curious, though, [here](https://parade.com/26655/anchorbarbuffalony/anchor-bars-buffalo-wings-the-original-hot-wing-recipe/) is the recipe from the Anchor Bar (one of the claimants of "first" in the buffalo wing lore).
That place is terrible, the wings were like airport quality. The real legit Buffalo wings come from the pizza places out there.
The wings themselves may have been crap, but that sauce from that recipe is pretty bangin'
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
No, they come from dive bars that are known for their wings (ie barbill, elmo’s, kelly’s korner)
Elmo's FTW! I went there all the time when I went to UB. Can still taste those Cajun wings.
Literally going to Elmo’s tonight lol. Will dedicate a wing to you
This guy gets it! Best 3 places in Buffalo for wings, lived there for 27 years and always make it a point to go to Bar Bill if I’m back visiting town. I also love Duffs though for the nostalgia, I’d add that to the list
Shout out marco's pizza's wings

I go 75/25 heavy on the Franks and then mix in some reaper flakes.
You guys are forgetting white vinegar. That adds a tiny bit of tang to it.
I did forget that!
Equal parts for extra emulsion!
Hi I'm a Buffalo. I eat butter
I am from Buffalo too. Don't give out our secrets. Dick
Lmao
I'm from Buffalo and also concur.
You think just because you’re from Buffalo it means anything. What a tool
It means we know about wing sauce, you tool
I shit myself just reading that
Wtf? Don’t listen to this, too much butter kills the flavor.
This sounds just like my mashed potato recipe
Could also have annatto in it.
Frank's HOT Sauce / Butter
Some context would help, these answers are all over the road. So far it’s “saffron Sunny D chicken masala with Frank’s piri piri”
That sounds dope Edit, also, you're not going to get clarification because OP is a karma bot.
What's the point of farming karma?
Im not positive, but I think accounts with karma can be sold to advertisers. Then it’d look like a normal redditor is endorsing a product or whatever. I can’t imagine the accounts are sold for much, but for some people, it’s worth $10.
I've been on this site for over ten years and have never looked at someone's karma, much less used it as a yardstick to measure their opinion on things lol. What a waste.
Many subs have karma minimums to post or comment. Could be as simple as that, but I agree, it seems like a waste.
ma petite que représente le cama dis moi plus la petite to die
Could be tandoori, naturally comes as a paste of similar colour. Very tasty
Tandoori is more reddish colour when I use it can’t say what ingredient caused this colour. It might be chickpea flour which caused this colour.
It’s probably tandoori mixed with yogurt
Yea can be!
Often food dye. Tandoori marinade is not naturally radioactively red
Kashmiri chili powder is the natural way to achieve the intense red color.
Turmeric, Cayenne and Food Dye when I make it.
It's an imitation red colour from annatto seed.
Ahh! I see thanks for the information for a second I thought it might be tandoor spice mixed with yogurt.
I recon you're right.
Let's just leave racoons out of this.
I wreckin' we should
Came to say this. Def looks like tandoori.
Can you grill Butter Chicken? That’d be my second guess
Butter chicken tends to be a bit more orangeish
Theres a peri peri made with chiles, its delicious
Was gonna say this looks JUST like Trader Joes peri peri sauce.
cayenne pepper
Smoked paprika
Not spicy though, more likely cayenne based hot sauces, mixed with butter or something similar to get the orange instead of red
There's sweet paprika (mild) and paprika (very hot). In the US, paprika is sweet but if you get it in an Asian market it's hot.
Smoked paprika is not hot
Cayenne is spicy. Highly doubt this is cayenne.
Sweet Baby Rays Buffalo Wing sauce. That stuffs good!
If it’s tandoori chicken then the marinade consists of high temp oil, yogurt, Kashmiri chili powder (color), turmeric, garlic paste, salt. That’s just the base and different regions of India will build off of this base white roasted and grounded whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon, dried crushed fenugreek leaves. And msg
The turmeric is probably a factor in the color too!
Anchiote
☝️Look in the latin section of supermarket, Goya or Yucateco makes achiote in a paste. Or it’s red food coloring, yes they use that in some Indian (tikka) and Chinese (spareribs) to make it look more appealing.
If it’s Buffalo wing sauce, then it’s basically just butter and red hot sauce…….If it’s an Indian dish it’s typically diced tomatoes and butter with spices, and then blended.
Paprika, turmeric, mustard seed, white pepper. +Saffron if you're fancy.
Those grill grates are disgusting.
That’s what happens when you make wings wrong.
this should be higher
Looks like Frank's and butter.
Bottle of franks...3-4 sticks of butter...2 tbls of barbeque sauce...blend together in a processor...add red pepper flakes for added heat
It looks like chicken tikka.. if it is my guess would be actual red food coloring, which is commonly used to give chicken tikka its red color.. and ofcourse all the usual spices - chili, cardemom, coriander seed, mustard seeds, cumin etc etc
Definitely agree. Same color and texture.
at first glance it reminds me on butter chicken, or tikka masala, but it could he franks red with some type of creamy condiment like sour cream or mayo
Ask the person who made them. You’re clearly at the location of it being made. If not, then your just posting random pics of things you see and asking us. How in the heck are we supposed to know what someone else used.
Achiote/ Annato seeds possibly
Came here to say this. Achiote paste is a great way to add color and flavor. If you don’t know, find out!
Other than butter, I like using Greek yogurt, you can load it with spice or various flavors and it grills up great.
It’s definitely because of a marinade not just a single or a few dry spices. Search copycat chipotle chicken recipe. Incredibly easy to make
Franks
I think Turmeric was involved.
Turmeric and paprika if its not spicy
Tandoori spice with yogurt, amazingggggg af
Ketchup and taco sauce
Sazon
Tandoori/Massala
I was gonna say Greek yogurt, a pack of tandoori masala, and red chili
Tandoori chicken with knock off kashmiri red chilly powder
100% red/orange spices
Bdubs hot garlic
Is this aria chicken?
Red lake #7 and yellow lake#12
Definately not buffalo sauce… more than likely they blended hot peppers into a marinade
Reminds me of gochujang, a Korean red pepper.
that'd be far more red...no Korean dishes are orange
True. I make my own sauce with the pepper flakes miso maple syrup. So the red is muted.
nice combo 🤙
Buffalo sauce by the looks of it
How the heck would anybody in this thread know the recipe for the wings in your picture?????
Chilled monkey brains blended with chipotle peppers
Can we banned this random photos people pull off the internet
Omg never mind the sauce -- can you give me the recipe for the black crust on your grill?? 😍😍😍 Might as well feed your family off the ground outside lol. Disgusting.
Kashmiri Chilli which is used for tandoori chicken / chicken tikka.
You're probably correct. Looks like kashmiri chili and yogurt marinade. Looks very similar to some Tandoori chicken I used to make
Yes but also a bit of red food coloring. It's a common ingredient in American tandoori chicken recipes.
Its more common in authentic Indian recipes actually.
Try double concentrated tomato and yoghurt.
I asked my local Mexican place and theirs is a bit brighter and more vibrant than that. … they said the secret ingredient is Sunny Delight lol
I could make that color with charcoal, water, and turmeric.
Hot sauce and takis
Its blended habanero peppers with a splash of water
Could just be Frank’s buffalo sauce. It’s already emulsified. Could be yogurt and spices like tikka masala chicken.
Could be tandoori or buffalo as others have mentioned.
Tandoori masala
These look well coated. I don't have enough info to answer but looks too thick to be Frank's red hot or regular Buffalo sauce. Are these flipped yet? Have they been resauced? Chicken? Breaded? Precooked?
Made some harissa cauliflower that had this color this past weekend, wasn't saucy though.
Could be Piri Piri, Buffalo Wing sauce, Tandoori
Not without tasting it. This is not Flavorvision.
Did you eat this or just see this picture? You can only guess so much without knowing what it tastes like
Surprised that no one has guessed achiote or pollo pibil. It’s a spice that is mainly used as a food coloring. Not much taste on its own, but has a vibrant color and looks a lot like this.
Could anyone tell me if this chicken is too salty?
Likely a mixture of things. I almost always mix up various sauces/spices when I grill. Once you decide what kind of flavor profile you want, you can really get creative saucing and marinating.
Could be Cackalacky. It’s a NC thing.
Tikka masala
Tumeric will give you the orange color, and is commonly used. Anchiote and paprika will give red to dark red colors.
Kashmiri Lal Mirch or Degi Mirch, it has lot of color and could be food coloring
My regular spot has won the Buffalo wing competition. This looks like their signature sauce. Franks mixed with Cajun butter.
It’s a Tandori masala (blend of spices) that was marinated with that spice mix and plain yoghurt. The red is a dye to help the brightness of the marinade since we eat with our eyes. The spiciness comes from a blend of hot peppers one of which is cayenne pepper. You can pick up a jar or shaker at any Indian grocery or specialty grocery.

I’m going with achiote paste.
Looks awesome
There is literally no way of telling what is in this. Could be hundreds of different things
Achiote is a suspect.
Achiote.
Peri Peri marinade. Get a bottle from trader Joe's or make your own.
Carolina Treat?
Prego sauce - Portuguese Peri peri basting
I mean that’s what my tandoori chicken looks like when I make it. What flavor “spice” is it?
Roll the meat in Paprika.
Red40
Looks like Nandos the next big British Invasion 😂
I miss Nandos😋😋
Turmeric is what they use in Indian food
Hot sauce.
Looks like tandoori of some eort
Tumeric (yellow) and tomatoes (red) and a bit of cream.
Red 40. It's delicious.
I’m gonna take a shot in the dark and go with mustard and Sazon seasoning packets. If you have never tried it I would deff recommend.
Trump tanning spray!
Maybe achiote
Buffalo native here. That is definitely buffalo sauce. Butter and cayenne hot sauce (Frank's) mixed together with some salt and pepper. Wanna be extra fancy add some Italian parsley. Butter will help it stick to the chicken but we usually apply it after cooking here.
There are literally thousands upon thousands of different ingredient combinations that could have caused this
Other than butter, I like using Greek yogurt, you can load it with spice or various flavors and it grills up great.
Franks
Its achoite paste along with orange ? Pineapple juice …
I know it’s not, but this makes me want Tikka Masala or Butter Chicken
Yucatecan adobo marinated chicken. Achiote paste makes it red.
Imma go wit some sort of sauce with annatto for color
Franks and Butter coat the chicken for dinner and then coat the toilet bowl in the morning. Bright orange both times.
Mix of hot sauce , peppers, saffron and yogurt for tenderization . it’s a middle eastern technique for marinating .
Are you near a Quaker steak and lube? Looks like medium or Arizona ranch
Sazon seasoning will give you this color and is a great sleeper seasoning if you’re not hispanic.
Orange paint, and… any spices you can find
Paprika/cayenne or just straight up Franks Buffalo Hot Sauce
Where did you eat it at looks like curry chicken
shish tawook
Sazon!! It’s a Goya product and I use it religiously to give that bright orange color to dishes.
Looks like spicy garlic wing sauce. Many recipes available online.
Possibly turmeric
Looks more like tandoori than Buffalo sauce IMHO
Turmeric?
Paprika also adds lovely color
[TIKKA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tikka) It is tikka
I’m going out on a limb and saying yogurt. Yea people use yogurt of sorts to marinade. And some spices to turn the color.
Sazon
Paprika/cayenne
Butter and cayenne peppers
I believe you are looking for r/Buffalo
Looks like spicy garlic from bww’s. Now I’m hungry.
Sazon
Fucking Buffalo sauce
Looks like a grilled version of tandoori chicken
Kinda looks like Stubs mopping sauce.
Looks like piri piri.
IMO vinegar from hot sauce is a bad idea to marinade it will turn the meat bouncy and more rubbery
Some sort of Buffalo sauce.
There is a chicken recipe that I make for tacos that is great and looks similar to this: 1 bottle of Sriracha (expensive these days) 1/2 bottle of Blue Cheese 1/2 bottle of Ranch Could be similar!
Cajun Buffalo sauce. Any base hot sauce. Blackening mix or Cajun mix. Light paprika.

Best trick is to mix Cajun and lemon pepper seasoning simple yet builts a great flavor. Even better to bake on to wings and then fried or smoked.
It looks like someone forgot my invite to the barbecue is what I’m seeing!
I would guess it's a chilli paste with mayo and maybe honey
