Buffalo Chicken wings are a popular snack or part of a meal that takes chicken to a new level. They were invented in 1964 in Buffalo, New York and got it’s name based on the location and not the name or the sauce originally.
Did you know that National Chicken Wing day is July 29th in the United Sates?
While you may only think of buffalo chicken as something to have in the wing variety, these buffalo chicken recipes will show you just how versatile this popular food can be. Two recipes show you how to make the perfect wings though, for those who want to make wings as well!
Instant Pot Chicken Wings
Do you have an Instant Pot type cooker? These wings are for you! These wings take 5 minutes in the Instant Pot and 2-3 minutes grilling or in the broiler is all it takes to make the perfect buffalo chicken wings! Of course you can use other sauces, but the classic buffalo is deliciously spicy.
Grilled Buffalo Wings
Don’t have an Instant Pot/pressure cooker but still want to make wings without having to heat up the house or even just while out and about and grilling? Then this recipe is perfect for you!
Chicken wings take about 40 minutes to make on the grill, so be prepared for a wait. It’s one that’ll be well worth it in the end.
Buffalo Chicken French Bread Loaf
It’s no secret that French Bread is absolutely delicious. You can have buffalo chicken without the hassle of tiny bones with this recipe! The french bread will help keep your hands from being too saucy, letting you enjoy more of the flavor and less of the mess.
This recipe uses a crockpot, so it’s perfect for the summer as it wont heat up your house and you can set it and forget it for a few hours as the chicken cooks.
Buffalo Chicken Crackers Recipe
This recipe makes a party snack out of crockpot cooked buffalo chicken. Great for your party tables any time of the year, and perfect finger-food sized as well. This easy recipe takes just a little effort and the use of the crock-pot lets you take care of other business while waiting on the chicken.
The crunch of the crackers adds a fun texture difference compared to the french bread in the previous recipe as well. Plus, they look rather nice and like they took a lot more time and effort than they actually do. That’s great for parties if you ask me.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Another food item that’s great for items are dips! This Buffalo Chicken dip is perfect for spicy food lovers who tend to not have a lot of dip options. A perfect way to enjoy buffalo chicken in a fun way with other items, what’s not to love about it?
Plus the protein from the chicken and calcium from the cheese? You can almost argue this one is somewhat healthy.Then again if you pair it with vegetables like the picture shows, you can’t argue the nutritional benefits of them at least.
Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese
This recipe takes both Mac and Cheese and Buffalo Chicken and combines them into one ultimate comfort dish with that spicy kick! If you’ve never made home made Mac and Cheese before, this recipe makes it easy to make a cheese sauce with that amazing Buffalo spice to it.
What’s not to love about paring two wonderful foods together into one dish? More so if you have a large group to feed and they all love buffalo chicken as much as you do!
Buffalo Chicken Soup
Taking chicken soup to a whole new level is what this soup does! Add some dumpling and you’d have something even more delicious, because dumplings are great.
This recipe doesn’t actually call for too much Buffalo wing sauce for the entire thing, so it’s easy to start small and build up to the level of zesty flavor that you want in your soup. The perfect pick me up soup for when you’re sick in bed!
Homemade buffalo Chicken Pizza
Who needs chicken wings and pizza when you can combine the two like this? Not me!
The cheese and the Bleu Cheese dressing will help mellow out the Buffalo sauce a little as well. So you’ll get a nice creamy cheesy pizza, and the pizzazz-y kick from the Buffalo Chicken on top. This sounds like a delicious way to have chicken on pizza that doesn’t involve BBQ sauce.

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Quinoa
This recipe is a lighter take on a chicken salad wrap! Using Lettuce leaves instead of tortillas and adding in some Quinoa for added nutrition.
Quinoa is a good source of fiber, protein and iron. Making this wrap even more of a protein boost with not just the benefits of the chicken! This makes a perfect light lunch to get you through the rest of your day without wanting to snack too much more.
Spicy Buffalo Chicken Pizza with Sweet Potato Crust
Sweet Potatoes offer a kick of protein, a ton of Vitamin A, as well as some Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Fiber and Potassium. They’re hands down better than white potatoes, and this pizza uses them to make a crust and tops it with Buffalo Chicken!

You can add some pizzazz and pop to your Nachos with popcorn chicken, hot sauce, and jalapenos! Use sauce cheese to make your nachos super delicious and creamy along with your regular cheese that you’ll melt.
