Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad

It’s tailgating time and I am definitely excited! I love tailgating time because I am a foodie and it means great food. And college football. I mean what else could be better? We love this Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad for just about any event but most especially tailgating.

It’s easy to make ahead, take with you and it can be served hot or cold. We prefer it cold, but it’s pretty great warm too.

This week is all about football food and guess what? That’s my favorite kind of sport. EATING… no, silly! Not Football!

I love sports about as much as I enjoy cleaning my house. Not at all. haha

But I do love the fun foods that go along with this fun sport and am happy to celebrate today with this awesome Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad and I can assure you it’s a huge hit.

Add more sauce for a spicier pasta, but overall you get a nice, creamy, slightly spicy buffalo chicken pasta and it’s served cold, but could be served warm if you wanted. Versatality!

But let’s get back to the Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad

This great tailgating recipe, is a tangy, spicy pasta salad that is perfect for the big game or any other event.

It goes fast, make extra! You can adjust how spicy you want it by adding more or less Buffalo Wing Sauce. In my book, that makes it perfect!

Ready for even more deliciousness for Football Gameday or honestly, ANY day?!?!
