Waffle sandwiches are quickly becoming one of my favourite ways to experiment with bold flavours and unexpected textures. There’s something about the combination of a slightly sweet, fluffy waffle and savoury fillings that feels so indulgent. Naturally, when I started playing around with waffle-wich ideas, I knew I had to try a buffalo chicken version. This sandwich is the result—a spicy, tangy, and cheesy creation that celebrates everything I love about buffalo chicken, elevated by the unique twist of crispy chicken skin and a waffle base.

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.

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.

<h4 class=”wp-block-heading”>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.

“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.
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.
