Easy Buffalo Chicken Recipe
If you haven’t notice by now, I am a bit obsessed with buffalo chicken. Whether it is these Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Tenders, Buffalo Chicken Wrap, or Bufffalo Chicken Sweet Corn Tostadas, I can never get enough of buffalo flavor! It is such an easy and quick way to add great flavor to any meal.
You can never have too many go-to easy buffalo chicken recipes for a quick weeknight dinner or game day snack.
Loaded French Bread
I love loaded French bread recipes, because they are such a quick and simple recipe with loads of flavor. You can make them in so many different flavors. Another favorite of our is BBQ Chicken French Bread.
For this buffalo chicken bread, we loaded it up with all the good stuff. Instead of just stopping short at buffalo chicken and cheese, we topped with some extra crunch and flavor.
Sliced green onions and celery provide the perfect crunch and compliment to the spicy buffalo chicken. Gorgonzola offers the classic bleu cheese tang that pairs so beautifully with buffalo sauce.
If you aren’t a bleu cheese fan, you can certainly leave it off. Heck, maybe just leave it off half the buffalo chicken bread, so those of use who love it can have all the great flavor.
How to make Buffalo Bread
Start by slicing a large load of French bread lengthwise. We use the soft French load for this recipe, not the chewy thin loaves that are extra crunch on the outside.
Toss some leftover chicken or cubed rotisserie chicken in a bowl with buffalo wing sauce. Franks RedHot wing sauce is our go-to for this recipe. It is thicken than traditional buffalo sauce, so it coats the chicken better.
Top the French bread with the buffalo chicken and an Italian blend of shredded cheese. Shredded mozzarella also works well. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes.
Serving French Bread
While the buffalo chicken bread is baking, thinly slice some green onions and celery. When the buffalo bread is done and the cheese is all melted, top it with the veggies and crumbled gorgonzola.
Slice up the buffalo chicken bread and serve it with a quick Chopped Caesar Salad or some roasted ranch carrots for a delicious weeknight dinner!
