About McDONALD'S, Spicy Buffalo Sauce
Sauce is the flavorful liquid or semi-liquid that pulls a dish together, spooned over, stirred into, or served alongside everything from pasta and roast meat to dumplings and ice cream. Cooks have leaned on sauces for centuries to add moisture, richness, and a finishing layer of taste, and classic French cuisine even organized them into five mother sauces, bechamel, veloute, espagnole, hollandaise, and tomato, from which countless others branch off.
Some are built on a roux, others on a reduction, an emulsion, or a simple blend of fresh ingredients. Nutrition swings widely with the recipe: a bright herb salsa verde is light and vitamin-rich, while a butter or cream sauce runs far more calorie-dense. Sauces cover the whole map, from savory gravies, pan sauces, and marinades to sweet dessert coulis and chocolate ganache. A good one balances salt, acid, fat, and seasoning.
Cool leftover sauce quickly and refrigerate it, reheating gently so it doesn't break or scorch.
