Get ready for the 10 most delicious buffalo chicken recipes that have ever been made!
You could say I’m a bit obsessed with buffalo sauce, which is why, over the years, I’ve made a number of lunches, dinners, and even snacks using my famous buffalo chicken recipe. If you’re on the hunt for a new recipe to try, I’ve gathered all my faves in one place so you can cook through them all.
Buffalo Chicken Recipe ideas
In many of these epic buffalo chicken recipe ideas, I first make my slow cooker buffalo chicken as the base, for which all you need are two ingredients: chicken and buffalo sauce.
The slow cooker makes cooking easy, and the chicken is fall-apart tender. All that’s left is to shred the meat and make one of the yummy dinner ideas below!
Alternatively, you can save time and use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Just shred the meat and toss it with buffalo sauce in a large skillet on medium heat. It’s a quick and tasty method to get these epic buffalo chicken recipes on your dinner table.
