With the Super Bowl right around the corner, it is time to share a collection of the best Buffalo Chicken recipes. These are appetizers and entrees that use buffalo chicken as an ingredient.
I love buffalo chicken because is easy to prepare in large batches and you can use it in a wide variety of recipes. Make buffalo chicken dip, a classic Midwest party snack, or use buffalo chicken to make an entree like enchiladas or pizza. If you want to keep things healthy, you can add buffalo chicken to a salad.
The easiest way to make buffalo chicken is to use a crock pot. This crock pot buffalo chicken recipe is a no-fuss way to make shredded chicken slathered in spicy buffalo sauce. The total active preparation time is just minutes. Once you have prepared the buffalo chicken, you can use it to make any of these recipes. Or if you are in a rush you can always buy a rotisserie chicken, shred the meat, and add buffalo sauce.
Hopefully, this is enough to satisfy all of your buffalo chicken cravings!
