  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the Buffalo Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the hot sauce and melted butter until well combined. Set aside.

  5. Add Toppings: Pile shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing on top.
  6. Garnish: Finish with sliced green onions and optional sliced avocado.
  7. Serve: Enjoy your buffalo chicken bowls hot and fresh!

Notes

Use quality hot sauce for best flavor. Adjust hot sauce to your heat preference. Pre-cook rice for quicker meal prep.
