Things are about to get saucy, spicy, and messy—in the best way possible! That's because we've rounded up our favorite buffalo chicken recipes. And we're not just talking about chicken wings either. Sure, we've got Ree Drummond's game day wings that are the epitome of football season, but we've also included fun ways to use that buffalo chicken flavor in so many other dishes, like stuffed peppers or mac and cheese. Of course, there are plenty of ideas for Super Bowl snacks like bubbly buffalo chicken dip, cheesy pull-apart sliders, and buffalo chicken nachos that are perfect for the big game.
If you're looking for a recipe to bring to your next weekend tailgate, try the buffalo chicken sloppy joes for a spin on the nostalgic comfort food dish. The filling can even be made ahead of time and warmed back up in a slow cooker. And, if you love the flavor of buffalo sauce but want to skip the meat, the crispy fried buffalo cauliflower sandwiches are for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike while the buffalo shrimp will remind you of your favorite wings. Grab the homemade ranch or blue cheese dressing and get cooking!
