If Buffalo wings and kettle corn married, this would be their baby! This popcorn is sweet, salty, and spicy all at the same time! It's a winner for football parties. If you like blue cheese, try sprinkling a few blue cheese crumbles over your serving of popcorn. I put a small bowl of blue cheese crumbles next to the popcorn bowl so people can add some if they wish.

Time 56m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
8 cups popped popcorn
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup water
⅓ cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's®)
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small cubes
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Fill with popcorn.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone pad.
  • Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, without stirring and swirling pan gently as needed, until sugar has melted and the caramel is a deep amber color, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir Buffalo sauce and butter carefully into the caramel; it will spit and bubble and may form a ball. Return to heat; bring to a boil, stirring until caramel is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda and cayenne pepper.
  • Pour spicy caramel mixture carefully over the popcorn. Toss to completely coat, guarding your hands from the hot caramel. Spread the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; stir.

Tips for Making Buffalo Popcorn:

  • Use Fresh Popcorn Kernels: Fresh popcorn kernels will pop up lighter and fluffier, giving you the best results for your buffalo popcorn.
  • Use High-Quality Buffalo Sauce: The buffalo sauce is the key to this recipe, so make sure to use a brand that you enjoy the taste of. Look for a buffalo sauce that is made with cayenne pepper, vinegar, and butter, and avoid sauces that are too sweet or tangy.
  • Don't Overcook the Popcorn: Popcorn is easy to overcook, so keep an eye on it while it's popping. As soon as the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, remove the popcorn from the heat.
  • Toss the Popcorn in the Buffalo Sauce Immediately: Once the popcorn is popped, immediately toss it in the buffalo sauce. This will help the sauce to evenly coat the popcorn and give it the best flavor.
  • Serve the Popcorn Warm: Buffalo popcorn is best served warm, so enjoy it right away!

Conclusion:

Buffalo popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for game day, movie night, or any other occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and addictive snack that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for something tasty to munch on, give buffalo popcorn a try!
