Ingredient notes

What to know about buffalo sauce

Buffalo sauce is cayenne hot sauce whisked with melted butter, which stacks three separate triggers most people never separate out. The cayenne base makes it a nightshade, the vinegary fermented hot sauce is a histamine liberator, and the butter adds dairy. If wings leave you flushed, congested or with an upset gut, buffalo sauce is a likely reason.

Watch for

  • High as a nightshade because the base is cayenne pepper, so it can bother you if capsaicin or other peppers do
  • Histamine liberator: the vinegar and aged hot sauce can prompt your body to release histamine, driving flushing, a runny nose or headache
  • Contains dairy from the butter, so lactose and casein can add gut or mucus symptoms on top of the pepper heat
