Buffalo Chicken is so delicious. I went through a several-month-long period of craving it so badly that every time I drove past a Chili’s restaurant, I drooled.
It’s probably because my best buddy Meagan and I used to go to Chili’s and order a buffalo chicken salad, then splurge on an exploding chocolate volcano for dessert. And now that she’s at vet school in Massachusetts, and I miss her… I’m longing for good times with buffalo chicken. And her.
Or… it could be that it’s just so darned good.
Anyway, I asked my older sister Jessica if she knew how to make a good buffalo sauce for chicken. She gave me the simplest, most delicious recipe! Melt some margarine, then stir in a generous portion of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. It’s not tobasco sauce… it’s cayenne sauce. It’s so delicious. Mmm.
So I like to cut up my chicken into little chunks so there’s more surface area for the sauce. Then, I just flour them and cook them in a pan, turning once. Then toss them in the sauce and throw them on a salad. With Ranch dressing. Mmmmmmmmm….
Are you drooling yet?

Yum yum yum. Jessica told me it had to be margarine, that butter made it…different? I dunno.
But maybe I’ll try butter someday if you swear it’s great.
I tend to use butter instead of margarine, and it is the BEST yummy sauce in the world.
