Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad
An easy and crowd-pleasing recipe to add to your line up of game day snacks.
Buffalo wings meet pasta salad in this flavorful and make-ahead recipe, sure to score a touchdown at your Super Bowl party or at your next tailgate.
I used a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store for a short cut and quick and easy assembly. We prefer rotini pasta so the buffalo/dressing gets in mixed through all the nooks and crannies of the corkscrew-shaped pasta, but use the pasta of your choice.
Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad
Ingredients
1 lb. rotini pasta, cook according to box directions
2 c. shredded rotisserie chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper (add more is serving as a main dish)
1/2 c. buffalo sauce (I used Frank’s)
1/2 c. *ranch dressing, plus more for drizzling (*use a premium ranch dressing like Marie’s or Marzetti’s found in the refrigerated section of the produce department for best flavor)
1 1/2 cup chopped celery
Celery leaves, chopped
Blue cheese crumbles, to taste, some mixed in pasta, some for garnish
Tip: Provide a squeeze bottle of ranch dressing and let your everyone drizzle their individual cups/servings of pasta salad with additional dressing to help cool down the heat from the buffalo sauce.
