I'm not a big fan of buffalo sauce, but this recipe was still really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the salad was very flavorful.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of buffalo sauce. But I'm so glad I did! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the buffalo sauce was just the right amount of spicy. I will definitely be making this again.
