Notes

Notes:
Update, we have also made this chili many times with 5 minutes of pressure cook time and it comes out perfect too! 
Don't have Buffalo Wing Sauce? Here is how to make it at home: 
  • ⅔ cup hot pepper sauce (we like Frank's RedHot)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
Combine the hot sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder in a pot and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer while stirring with a whisk. As soon as the liquid begins to bubble on the sides of the pot, remove it from heat, stir with the whisk, and set it aside for use.
