I’m a sauce n’ dip person so if I have the option to sprinkle something on top or just plunge right in, you know I’m going for the latter....

If you are looking for some great starter ideas using delicious Buffalo flavors, look no further! Try my recipes for Buffalo Mac and Cheese Cups, Blue Cheese Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Meatballs, and Buffalo Popcorn Chicken. Remember when buffalo flavors were only for chicken wing joints?
