Directions

4. Sprinkle shredded cheese and blue cheese crumbles (if using) over the top.

5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the flatbread edges are crispy.

Servings and Timing

This recipe serves 2 to 3 people and takes about 20 minutes total, including prep and baking time.

Variations

I like adding sliced jalapeños or diced bell peppers for extra heat and crunch. Using BBQ sauce instead of buffalo sauce creates a sweeter flavor profile. For a vegetarian version, swapping chicken for roasted cauliflower or chickpeas works great.

Storage/Reheating

Leftover flatbread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I reheat it in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Yes, rotisserie chicken is perfect and saves time.

How spicy is this dish?

It has moderate heat from the buffalo sauce, which can be adjusted by using mild or hot sauce.

Can I freeze buffalo chicken flatbread?

It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze the cooked flatbread wrapped tightly and reheat in the oven.

What cheese works best?

Mozzarella melts well, while cheddar adds sharpness. Blue cheese is classic for buffalo flavor but optional.

Can I make the sauce homemade?

Absolutely! Mixing hot sauce with melted butter is an easy way to make buffalo sauce at home.

Buffalo Chicken Flatbread is a flavorful, easy-to-make meal that brings the bold and spicy flavors of buffalo wings into a fun, shareable format. I enjoy how quickly it comes together and how customizable it is for different tastes. Whether for a casual dinner or party snack, this flatbread always hits the spot.
