Buffalo chicken has been loved across the United States for a long time, and I thought we should explore a quick and easy way to not only make it halal. Now, this recipe does require using an instantpot, but there are substitutes for that. There are many ways to make shredded chicken, however using an instantpot is, as the name would imply, pretty quick.
Just before serving I like to garnish with green onion and ranch dressing. Now, I know that ranch is divisive, but for me personally, it’s nice to get something to help mitigate the heat of the buffalo sauce.
It’s a short and sweet one this week! I’ll leave you with an early Eid Mubarak and I’ll see you back here next week for our next recipe!
