What Goes Good with Buffalo Chicken?

The buffalo flavor goes really well with ranch and blue cheese. I like to have little bowls of both of these for dipping.

You can also cut up fresh veggies like carrots and celery. They go so good with buffalo chicken. 

How to Bake a Quesadilla:

These Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas can be baked or cooked in the skillet.

• Prepare the quesadilla as directed on the recipe card.
• Place the prepared quesadillas on a baking sheet.
• Place in the oven that has been preheated to 400 degrees
• Cook for about 6-7 minutes. Then flip and then cook 6-7 minutes on the other side.
• Once the quesadillas are cooked to golden brown, cut and serve.

Tips for Making Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas:

• Leftover Rotisserie Chicken – This is the perfect meal to make with leftover chicken and rotisserie chicken.
• Cheese – We used mozzarella cheese but you can use any type of cheese. Monterey jack cheese or pepper jack cheese would great option. You can even mix different types of cheese together.
• Ingredients – When heating the ingredients together, make sure they are mixed together completely.
• Buffalo Sauce – You can make homemade buffalo sauce or use store bought. These quesadilla will have all the flavors of buffalo sauce no matter which one you use.
• Meal Idea – These quesadillas are perfect for lunch or dinner. We make these all the time for a quick meal idea.
• Tortilla – You can use any type of quesadillas. Gluten free, low carb or whole wheat tortillas are always good options.
• Shred Cheese – We recommend shredding cheese yourself. There is no adding ingredients and we feel like it melts better than the pre-shredded cheese.

Should I Cook Quesadillas in butter or oil?

We like to use a little bit of oil when making these quesadillas. These quesadillas will be a little crispier if you use oil. We have also had great results with non stick spay.

Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas are so easy:

If you love chicken buffalo sauce wings, you will love this chicken mixture loaded with wing sauce. You can also use buffalo sauce or hot sauce.

I try to always keep cooked chicken on hand to make this meal quickly during busy weeknights. It is the perfect meal to make when you are running from work to school and endless activities.

How to Store Leftovers:

If you have leftovers, place in an air tight container and place in the refrigerator. The leftovers will last about 3 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave on the skillet.
