Paleo Vegan Buffalo Sauce

This fiery, tangy sauce comes together fast on the stovetop, built around bold hot sauce, a bright hit of white vinegar, and a warm blend of garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. A pinch of salt and a touch of cayenne push the heat exactly where you want it, and gentle whisking over low heat turns everything smooth and glossy without ever letting it boil. The result is a rich, pourable sauce that thickens slightly as it cools, perfect for tossing over wings, drizzling on roasted vegetables, or stirring into a dip. It's an easy one to keep on hand for a Paleo kitchen, ready whenever you need a serious kick of buffalo flavor.
