The buffalo wing was the first rendition of this recipe where chicken wings are covered in a spicy buffalo sauce and usually dipped in ranch or blue cheese dip.

These recipes are pantry staples and ones you can find at your local grocery store. Stock up on these ingredients and you can bake buffalo chicken anytime.
- Hot sauce: we love to use frank’s red hot sauce because of it’s bold, classic flavor, but you could use any buffalo wing sauce.
- Chicken: some form of chicken breast is typical, but we love to keep it simple and use a rotisserie chicken. We also like to throw chicken breasts in the slow cooker with some olive oil on high for 4-5 hours. Buffalo chicken dip is a great way to use leftover chicken breast.
- Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
