I had a hard time finding buffalo sauce, so I used hot sauce instead. The empanadas were still really good, but they weren't as spicy as I would have liked.

These empanadas were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them! He said they were the best buffalo chicken empanadas he's ever had.

I'm not a big fan of buffalo sauce, but these empanadas were still really good! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the empanada dough was flaky and delicious.
