This bold, tangy buffalo sauce comes together fast, with hot sauce forming the fiery base and rich ghee whisked in until the whole thing turns glossy and smooth. Chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne build layers of warmth, while a finishing splash of fresh lime juice (and a little zest, if you're feeling it) cuts through the heat with brightness. The key is keeping the heat low so the ghee emulsifies fully instead of separating, giving you that silky, cling-to-every-wing texture. It's endlessly versatile — toss it with crispy chicken wings, drizzle it over roasted vegetables, or use it as a dip for just about anything crunchy. Made from simple, real-food ingredients with no gluten-containing fillers or thickeners in sight, this sauce is an easy, reliable staple to keep stocked in a gluten free kitchen. It keeps well in the fridge, too, so you can whisk up a batch and have punchy, spicy flavor ready whenever you need it.

Combine the hot sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking until the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the ghee and whisk continuously until it is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy, about 2–3 minutes. Do not let the sauce boil — keep the heat at medium-low so the emulsion holds.
