This weekend we had B’s parents over for dinner, which in my mind is a perfect time to try out a new recipe, since it will be more people than just us. I’m linking back up with I Love You More Thank Carrot’s That’s Pintastic today too!
Lately, I’ve had this weird obsession with Buffalo everything. I have had it on salads, chicken strips, and of course wings. I wake up and I want buffalo sauce, I work out and I want it, I watch tv and I want it, and no, I’m not pregnant. Needless to say, I saw this recipe pop up on my feed and knew I must try it!
It’s simple, and got rave reviews from our dinner guests and B even got seconds, which is saying a LOT! :) I actually made just a few modifications.
Buffalo Chicken Pasta
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 6-10 (I’d cut the recipe in half next time and I would still have a ton of leftovers)
1 box of bow tie noodles
5 stalks of celery
1/2 red onion (original recipe called for 1 full onion but I didn’t want to go to the store)
1 rotisserie chicken – shredded
3/4 bottle of ranch (original recipe called for blue cheese but I am not a fan)
3/4 bottle of tabasco buffalo sauce
Prepare noodles as usual. When draining the water, pour cold water over your noodles to cool them down and stop them from cooking. Shred the chicken, and cut up both the onion and celery. Put them all in a big bowl and mix together. I used my (clean) hands becuase all the ingredients didn’t fit in my bowl and it was really hard to mix.
Serve chilled. I actually like mine the day after because it seems to marinate in the seasoning and get even better with time!
Everyone said it was delicious though and it was pretty easy. I can’t wait to eat it for lunch today at work! Buffalo EVERYTHING!!!

Sounds so yummy! I have never really made anything buffalo chicken yet. I used to get a buffalo chicken wrap every week in college – they made them every Tuesday on Special. And I occasionally will get buffalo chicken pizza but that is about it! Maybe I will have to try this!
This is my favorite go-to recipe when I have leftover chicken. Winner, winner, chicken dinner :)
MMMMMMM. Looks tasty my Buffalo! xo
Sounds delicious!!
Yummmm! I also love ALL things buffalo. Have you ever made buffalo chicken wing dip? It’s soo good! I’m sad I’ve had to put spicy things on hold for a while. I just had a baby and the spicy food doesn’t agree with him.
Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Random question – did you try making the buffalo cauliflower recipe?
Ah! That dish looks absolutely delicious. With my boyfriend’s borderline obsession with buffalo, I’m definitely going to have to try this.
Do you use a small or large bottle of hot sauce?
