If you are looking for a food that pleases everyone, your search is over! This Buffalo Chicken French Bread is a crowd pleaser!
Oh really? Another buffalo recipe? Trust me, this is not ANOTHER buffalo recipe. This is THE buffalo recipe!
Who likes hot and spicy food? Oh I know I do, Kyle does and all of the family does too. Each of us likes hot food to some degree. Both our dads, Kyle and my brother like super hot, and his mom and I like medium hot and my maman likes the least hot. This buffalo chicken French bread covers us all.
I made this buffalo chicken French bread on Saturday evening and we all loved it so much that first thing on Sunday, I made it again! I am not going to make it again this week because we need to eat healthy most of the week and New Year’s Eve is going to be here soon and we probably are not going to eat very healthy on those days. But next week? Who knows?
“Buffalo Chicken French bread is great for any day!”
More Recipes:
This buffalo chicken French bread can of course be made with any type of bread you like such as sourdough or baguette, as long as you can hollow out the bread and fill it with this luscious, creamy filling of chicken smothered with cream cheese, hot sauce, and some other fantastic ingredients. This by no means is a healthy, light food if you are planning to have it all yourself. This food is meant to be shared with people you love and care about, and with ones whom you want to taste one of the best foods in their lives. Because how can something go wrong if it’s full of cheese and sauce?
Just one thing for my lovely readers in other parts of the world who don’t have access to ranch dressing: allrecipes.com has a very good and accessible substitute for ranch dressing here. Just make the substitute and mix it with a couple of spoonfulls of mayonnaise and you’re all good!
You will love this buffalo chicken French bread as much as we did – or hopefully more!

Manal Obieda
Oh my goodness….what a view…love the idea so much seriously…this is just perfect….I need to give it a try, thanks for sharing and happy new year
unicornsinthekitchen@gmail.com
Happy New Year Manal! I’m glad you like it! It tastes even better than it looks! 😀
Isabelle @ Crumb
Spicy chicken? Warm crusty bread? Gooey melted cheese? Oh year, this definitely sounds like my kind of tailgating food! I’ll definitely have to wait until I have guests over to try this one out… I’m pretty sure I could polish off a whole loaf on my own, otherwise. 🙂
unicornsinthekitchen@gmail.com
That’s is so right Isabelle! Or, what you can do is to get one of those small rolls you know, from a bakery, and just make half or a quarter of the recipe and still enjoy it! 😀
Michele
You are killing me? I start a new diet then I see your amazing post…. This looks sinful and absolutely wonderful!! I pinned it for when the diet comes to an end…. ~m
unicornsinthekitchen@gmail.com
I really hope diet comes to an end soon or a cheat day should come up! 😀
Tracy @ Served from Scratch
Oh my gosh, this would be the most amazing party appetizer! Although that means I’d have to share! 😉
unicornsinthekitchen@gmail.com
Or, you can deliberately forget to bring it and then enjoy it yourself 😀
Sarah
3 words: Super Bowl Party. Seriously, how perfect for entertaining the biggest football fans out there? I can’t wait to make it! Thanks for sharing!!
