Buffalo Popcorn
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Diet: Gluten-Free
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups popped popcorn (plain and unsalted)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons buffalo-style hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon dried parsley or blue cheese crumbles for garnish
Instructions
- Start with 8 cups of freshly popped popcorn. You can use an air-popper, stovetop method, or plain microwave popcorn. Place the popcorn in a very large mixing bowl, ensuring there is plenty of room to toss the kernels without them spilling over the edges.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the buffalo hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and the spices are well-incorporated into the liquid.
- Slowly drizzle the buffalo mixture over the popcorn in the large bowl. While drizzling, use a large spoon or your hands to toss the popcorn continuously. This ensures that the moisture is distributed evenly, preventing any single area from becoming too soggy while others remain dry.
- Once coated, taste a kernel to check the seasoning. If desired, sprinkle with a bit more salt or dried parsley. For an authentic “wings” experience, you can even sprinkle some crumbled blue cheese over the top while the popcorn is still slightly warm.
