Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings (I like to keep them whole for maximum juiciness)

Buffalo Wing Sliders

Make your game day epic with these Buffalo Wing Sliders—spicy, saucy, and seriously easy to devour.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken tenders (thighs work too for extra juiciness)
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot is my ride-or-die)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted, because we’re not savages)
• 1 tbsp garlic powder (trust me, it’s the secret weapon)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (for that smoky whisper)
• Slider buns (brioche for the win—soft and slightly sweet)
• 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing (homemade or store-bought, no judgment)
• 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce (for the crunch factor)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F—get it hot like the sauce.
2. Toss chicken tenders with garlic powder and smoked paprika. Lay them on a baking sheet—no crowding, please.
3. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, then bake another 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
4. While chicken bakes, mix hot sauce and melted butter in a bowl. Taste and adjust heat—go wild if you dare.
5. Pull chicken out, dunk each piece in the sauce until fully coated. Back in the oven for 5 minutes to set the sauce.
6. Toast your brioche buns lightly—just a minute per side for that perfect texture.
7. Layer each bun with lettuce, a saucy chicken tender, and a drizzle of blue cheese dressing.

Perfectly messy with a kick that builds, these sliders are best served with extra napkins and a cold beer. Try stacking them high for Instagram—or just eat them straight off the tray.

Buffalo Wing Pasta

Y’all, this Buffalo Wing Pasta is the weeknight hero you didn’t know you needed. Spicy, creamy, and unapologetically bold, it’s like your favorite game-day snack turned into a full-blown meal.

Ingredients

– 8 oz penne pasta (I swear by Barilla for that perfect al dente bite)
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter (Kerrygold gives it that rich, velvety finish)
– 1/2 cup heavy cream (go for the good stuff, it makes all the difference)
– 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce (non-negotiable for that authentic Buffalo kick)
– 1/2 cup shredded rotisserie chicken (leftovers work magic here)
– 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (trust me, it’s the tangy crown jewel)
– 2 tbsp chopped scallions (for that fresh, crunchy contrast)

Instructions

1. Boil the penne in salted water for 11 minutes—set a timer for that perfect al dente texture.
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then whisk in the heavy cream until smooth.
3. Stir in the Frank’s RedHot sauce, letting it simmer for 2 minutes to marry the flavors.
4. Toss in the shredded chicken, heating through for another 2 minutes—no one likes cold chicken.
5. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the starchy water to loosen the sauce if needed.
6. Combine the pasta with the sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat every noodle evenly.
7. Sprinkle with blue cheese and scallions right before serving for maximum freshness.

Pro Tips:
– Reserve that pasta water! It’s your secret weapon for a silky sauce.
– Rotisserie chicken is a time-saver, but grilled chicken adds a smoky depth.
– Let the sauce simmer—it thickens just enough to cling to the pasta.

This dish is all about the contrast—creamy, spicy, and tangy, with a crunch from the scallions. Serve it straight from the skillet for that rustic, shareable vibe, or plate it up with extra blue cheese on the side for the die-hard fans.

Buffalo Wing Grilled Cheese

Kick off your taste buds with this Buffalo Wing Grilled Cheese—spicy, cheesy, and utterly irresistible. Perfect for game day or when you’re craving something bold.

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (leftover rotisserie works wonders)
• 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot is my ride or die)
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for that golden crisp)
• 4 slices sourdough bread (thick-cut holds up best)
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (the sharper, the better)
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (don’t skip—it’s the MVP)
• 1/4 cup ranch dressing (homemade or store-bought, no judgment)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce until fully coated. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
3. Place two slices, buttered side down, in the skillet. Layer each with half the cheddar, all the chicken mixture, blue cheese, and remaining cheddar.
4. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up. Press down gently with a spatula.
5. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cheese is melty. Tip: Cover the skillet for the last minute to ensure the cheese melts perfectly.
6. Remove from heat. Drizzle with ranch dressing before serving. Tip: Let it sit for a minute before cutting to prevent oozing.

Unbelievably crunchy on the outside, ooey-gooey on the inside. Serve with extra Buffalo sauce and celery sticks for the full wing experience.

Buffalo Wing Pretzel Bites

Alright, let’s dive straight into these Buffalo Wing Pretzel Bites—spicy, cheesy, and impossible to resist.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (I swear by King Arthur for that perfect chew)
• 1 tsp salt (fine sea salt dissolves like a dream)
• 1 tbsp sugar (just a hint to balance the heat)
• 1 packet active dry yeast (check the expiry date—no one wants flat pretzels)
• 3/4 cup warm water (110°F, use a thermometer for precision)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (salted works in a pinch, but adjust salt elsewhere)
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot is my go-to for that classic Buffalo kick)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar melts into gooey perfection)
• 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional, but oh-so-worth it)
• 1 tbsp baking soda (for that iconic pretzel crust)
• 1 large egg, beaten (room temp eggs mix smoother)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
2. Dissolve yeast in warm water (110°F) and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Tip: Too hot and you’ll kill the yeast!
3. Stir melted butter into yeast mixture, then pour into dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Tip: If sticky, add a sprinkle of flour—but don’t overdo it.
5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled.
6. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
7. Boil 6 cups water with baking soda. Cut dough into 1-inch pieces, boil for 30 seconds each, then transfer to baking sheet.
8. Brush each piece with beaten egg, bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Tip: Rotate the tray halfway for even browning.
9. Toss warm pretzel bites in hot sauce, then sprinkle with cheddar and blue cheese. Serve immediately.

Outrageously crunchy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with fiery Buffalo flavor. Try skewering them with toothpicks for a game-day platter that disappears fast.

Buffalo Wing Deviled Eggs

Viral for a reason, these Buffalo Wing Deviled Eggs mash up game-day favorites into one bite-sized punch of flavor. No fuss, all attitude—let’s get cracking.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs (room temp eggs peel like a dream)
• 1/4 cup hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot or bust for that authentic tang)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted, because we’re not animals)
• 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (the chunkier, the better—fight me)
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise (Duke’s has my heart, but use what you’ve got)
• 1 tsp white vinegar (a splash to brighten things up)
• Celery salt to finish (trust me, it’s the secret weapon)

Instructions

1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan, cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
2. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes—this is the sweet spot for perfectly firm yolks.
3. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 15 minutes. Cooling them quickly stops the cooking and makes peeling a breeze.
4. Peel eggs, then slice in half lengthwise. Pop yolks into a bowl and arrange whites on a serving platter.
5. Mash yolks with a fork until fine. Stir in hot sauce, melted butter, mayonnaise, and vinegar until smooth.
6. Fold in blue cheese crumbles gently—you want pockets of cheesy goodness, not a homogenous mix.
7. Spoon or pipe filling back into egg whites. Sprinkle with celery salt for that crunch and flavor boost.

Perfect for when you want the heat of wings without the mess. The creamy, spicy filling against the cool egg white is a texture dream. Serve with extra hot sauce and celery sticks for the full experience.
