Recipe ingredients and notes:
Buffalo chicken (from Buffalo, New York) is chicken tossed in vinegar-based hot sauce with melted butter and sometimes other ingredients. The dish here is made with those traditional ingredients along with cream, oregano and gnocchi.
- Oregano is a non-traditional Buffalo chicken ingredient but it adds a unique flavor here that works great in the sauce.
- I recommend Louisiana hot sauce for this recipe. It's high in vinegar and therefore adds a nice tanginess.
How to make it:
See full ingredient amounts and instructions in the recipe card below!
- Cook onion and chicken in butter.

How to serve it:
Serve the dish hot with a little bit of ranch dressing drizzled over it.
