[Modernist Cuisine at Home] Buffalo Sauce

[Anonymous Modernist 11548]

Hey Gang. I've looked around and can't find if anyone has done this one yet. I tried to make it multiple times. The first time I ended up adding it all together too quickly and it didn't form an emulsion. The most recent attempt at it yielded a sauce that had the correct texture but had a flavor and smell that just seemed way off. It almost seemed overly bitter and appealed as almost a rancid/burnt/bad flavor and I'm not sure if it would be caused by garlic or maybe the oil being used. The spicy flavor also seemed to be more of a hot sauce like flavor as well so I'd like to see if anyone had any success with this sauce recipe and get some advice on the brand/type of oil one would suggest for this and any other input/advice anyone has.

Thanks,

It could be one of two things: you could be overcooking the garlic (making it bitter) or your oil might be rancid.
