For those who are afraid of a little spice, have no fear the buffalo isn’t overpowering. You can also eliminate the cayenne to help reduce any spice. For those who want a weee bit more spice you can add more cayenne or even marinate the breasts in Frank’s Red Hot overnight to really saturate the chicken. Costco occasionally sells a pre-marinated buffalo chicken for another option.
