I'm not a big fan of buffalo sauce, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The chicken was not too spicy and the blue cheese salad helped to balance out the flavors.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it throughout the week in different recipes. This buffalo chicken thigh recipe is one of my favorites.
