Tips

Add cayenne pepper for an extra kick, or pick an extra-spicy hot sauce to create your buffalo sauce. Be careful if you start cutting up peppers. The capsaicin, which gives the peppers their heat, will stay on your fingers and can burn. Always wear gloves when chopping hot peppers and remember to wash your hands thoroughly immediately after handling the peppers. Also, be careful not to touch your hands to your face or any area with sensitive skin.
