Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
If you love buffalo chicken, then you must try these Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches! These quick chicken sandwiches are full of flavor and fun! I absolutely love quick and easy recipes, and this buffalo chicken recipe is exactly that. I love that there are less than 5 ingredients in this recipe – chicken, Frank’s hot sauce, and ranch seasoning mix. The buffalo shredded chicken is also great on more than just sandwiches! I love this shredded chicken on top of salads and my kids love them in wraps or in quesadillas. But, be warned – this buffalo chicken definitely comes with a kick. When I make these for my kids I add in 1/2 stick of butter or 1 package of cream cheese to bring the spice down a bit. You could also ease up on the amount of wings sauce or give a milder sauce a try. Buffalo Wild Wings has a fantastic flavor pack with some milder options – we love the Asian Zing! Alrighty y’all, let’s get cooking!
