Not too shabby huh? Next time we will buy some bleu cheese dressing to dip it in and kick up the spice but other than that this is a keeper. We used ranch last night because that was what we had.
Why so many substitutions in these recipes? Honestly I turned to Pinterest to figure out what was for dinner so we didn't have to go to the store the past few nights so these were all me searching for ingredients I had on hand on there. If you want too see what I am pinning and possible upcoming post pins check my food board out here.
Have you made anything on Pinterest? How did it come out?

Again we had to adapt it to gluten free. Lets be honest even the best GF bread is never going to taste like real bread. It just doesn't react the same when you cook and grill it. That said UDI'S is amazing! Which is what we used for ours.
My version
Since neither of us eat mayonnaise we started with a BBQ base and added spice to it. It was phenomenal. It needs more spice next time. I think we were both gun shy because neither us have ever truly had "buffalo" style anything. I only recently learned I LOVE spicy food.

I still have not gone over to the Pinterest world. It's part fear of addiction and part because I know my boss's wife is on there and wanted me to join and I'm trying to keep my work and home life separated.
We made a shredded Buffalo Chicken something for a party recently. The great thing is that it was super easy and made in a crock pot while we slept. We served it as sliders, and last night had it as a pizza topping. The recipe used Frank's Hot Sauce, and in the vast quantities required tasted super salty.
And oh yeah, bleu cheese pairs so well with Buffalo _____. Some people use Ranch, but those Ranch lovers are just lame. ;-)
we make shredded bbq chicken then use leftovers on pizza!
I may have to pin this recipe myself to try.
I haven't yet made anything I've pinned, but I have pinned things I've made....if that makes sense.
AND no, I have done done anything inspired by interest... yet.
I look forward to though.
