=”wp-block-heading”>The Inspiration Behind This Buffalo Chicken Creation</h3>

&amp;amp;lt;!

— /wp:heading –&gt;

Buffalo chicken is a classic for a reason—it’s spicy, tangy, and endlessly versatile. While I’ve worked it into many recipes, I couldn’t resist giving it a waffle-wich twist. The waffles offer a sweet, soft base that contrasts beautifully with the heat of the sauce and the crunch of the chicken.

<!– wp:paragraph –></p>

Whe</p>

n

crafting this recipe, I wanted to hit every note: tender chicken thighs marinated in buttermilk and Frank’s RedHot Sauce, a dry batter that ensures the crispiest coating, and a buffalo sauce with a slight sweetness and a whisper of whiskey. The finishing touch? Crispy chicken skin for that irresistible crunch and blue cheese melted under the grill for a creamy, salty counterpoint to the spice.

<p>This waffle-wich is a love letter to buffalo chicken with a unique twist. And if you’re into bold sandwiches, this one needs to be on your list.

<!– /wp:heading –>

<h4 class=”wp-block-heading”&gt;Is buffalo chicken very spicy?</h4>

Buffalo chicken typically carries a noticeable heat, but it’s not overwhelming. The spice level depends on the recipe and the hot sauce used. My version balances heat with the richness of butter and honey in the buffalo sauce, so it’s spicy without being overpowering.

class=”

wp-block-heading”><h4 class=”wp-block-heading”><strong>Why do they call chicken buffalo chicken?

Buffalo chicken gets its name from its birthplace—Buffalo, New York. The original recipe, created in the 1960s at the Anchor Bar, used a hot sauce-based coating for chicken wings. The name stuck and now refers to any chicken prepared with this signature flavour.&amp;amp;lt;/p></p>

ass=”wp-block-heading”&gt;<strong&gt;What’s the difference between chicken and buffalo chicken?&lt;/strong></strong>

<p>

“Chicken” is a general term for poultry prepared in any number of ways, while “buffalo chicken” specifically refers to chicken coated in a spicy hot sauce-based mixture, usually featuring butter and cayenne-based hot sauce. It’s a particular flavour profile rather than a cooking method.

Is Buffalo mean spicy?

The term “Buffalo” in food doesn’t strictly mean spicy—it refers to the flavour style originating from Buffalo, New York. That said, buffalo sauce is generally spicy, tangy, and buttery, which is why it’s so iconic.

What flavour is Buffalo?

<p><!– /wp:heading –>

<p>Buffalo sauce has a unique blend of flavours: it’s spicy from the hot sauce, tangy from vinegar, and rich from the butter. My version adds a hint of sweetness with honey and depth with a splash of whiskey. It’s a bold, balanced combination that works beautifully with chicken.
