- If you have little ones not so keen on the spicy side of life, set aside a portion before adding the buffalo sauce. You can substitute barbecue sauce for their serving.
- And for those busy evenings, prep everything ahead of time. Just cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and pop it in the refrigerator. When you're ready, just bake it a bit longer since you're starting from cold.
- Serve with a side salad or some celery and carrot sticks with extra ranch for dipping to make the meal complete.
