There are so many buffalo sauce brands to choose from but my absolute favorite is Frank's Red Hot. It's the perfect amount of spicy and tangy.

I have also been known to use Chick-Fil-A buffalo sauce if I have enough of them on hand.

I know Buffalo Wild Wings has a delicious buffalo sauce that I think would pair nicely as well.
