Buffalo Chicken is traditionally nothing more than deep-fried chicken wings tossed with hot sauce and butter. However, while wings are great (as you'll see), there's more to Buffalo Chicken than its bar chow origins suggest. The crowd-pleasing rich and warming flavor profile lends itself to a whole host of dishes. From tacos to meatball sliders to five-ingredient pizza, here are the best recipes for when you want something that's a little saucy, a bit spicy, and a whole lot of what you're craving for dinner tonight.

Buffalo Chicken Drumsticks Recipe

These drumsticks are super saucy in the best way possible. They're mild in terms of heat, so if you like a spicier wing, stir in 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper into the sauce.

Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Credit: Johnny Miller; Styling: Sarah Smart

Buffalo Chicken Sliders Recipe

Including carrots and celery inside the patty gives you all the flavors of a wing plate while also helping to keep the lean burger moist. When shredding celery, you'll have to occasionally stop to pull and discard the strings (trust us, it's worth it). Choose celery with nice, fresh leaves still attached, as they go perfectly atop the burger.

Buffalo Chicken Salad

Buffalo Chicken Salad Recipe

The saucy chicken strips, crisp carrots, and celery are made better only by the tangy, pungent buttermilk-blue cheese dressing. You can drizzle the dressing on the salad or serve it alongside for dipping. For a more filling meal, serve with toasted baguette slices.
