Make the buffalo sauce: melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, then whisk in the hot sauce, white wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and set aside. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the sauce in a separate small bowl for finishing — do not use this reserved portion for marinating.
