WHAT GOES WELL WITH BUFFALO CHICKEN?
Since buffalo sauce is spicy, it’s best when served with a creamy dressing to cool things down. Buffalo chicken is traditionally served with blue cheese dressing, but I also like a combination of crumbled blue cheese and ranch dressing. And buffalo chicken is ALWAYS served with carrots and celery sticks!
Whether you plan to make these Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Meatballs for dinner or for your next party, I promise you’re going to love them! And if you happen to have any leftovers…they’re easy to re-heat and just as delicious the second time around.
