Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Recipe – chicken and spaghetti tossed in a cream cheese, buffalo, cheddar and Ranch sauce – OMG! SO good. I wanted to lick the plate!
This might be my new favorite pasta dish. It combined two of my favorite dishes – buffalo chicken dip and pasta. I used a rotiserrie chicken and it came together in no time. The hardest part of this recipe is boiling the pasta.
We absolutely loved the flavors in this dish. This does have a nice kick to it. Feel free to adjust the hot sauce to your desired level of heat. I like spicy food, so I went for the full ½ cup. We topped the pasta with some green onions for color and a little crunch. Give this a try. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Has anyone made this in advance and served later?
Looking to make this ahead of time and reheat for dinner a couple nights later. Anyone reheated it?
I was able to send a message to Pinterest…we will see how it goes š
How much cheddar?
Can you clarify what shape of the chedar cheese to use?
Andrea – YAY! I'm so happy to hear you are loving all the recipes!
Making this again tonight, it's about my 4th or 5th time and I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for the recipe! My family loves it. Your blog is the one I come to every time for great recipes, we've yet to have a failure from anything you've posted š
Made this for the second time tonight–it's awesome!! Pretty much everything I cook is from your site! š
I ran across this recipe last week and thought it was really interesting and put it on my "to make" list. Well I made it tonight and…. *O*M*G* it's delicious!!! Thank you so much for sharing it!!!! š
I made this last night and it was wonderful! I was a little afraid of the hot sauce, so I used sparingly, and it was just the right amount. It was also great as leftovers tonight, I threw in a chopped up tomato to give the leftovers a little more liquid.
Thanks!
Ashley – you can use some dry Ranch and sour cream or Greek yogurt
I'm in the same boat as Rhoynwynn.. I don't like ranch, but I also don't like bleu cheese! Any other suggestions?? Maybe dry ranch packet? I do like that! lol
Hi Steph,
Wondering if bleu cheese dressing would work as a substitute for Ranch? (I don't like Ranch dressing.)
Rhoynwynn – you can absolutely sub bleu cheese dressing for the Ranch dressing
Just amde this for dinner tonite. Super easy. I used Louisiana Wing Sauce instead of Franks and topped it with crumbled blue cheese!! YUM…might add more chicken next time…Thanks Steph
Gail – Frank's hot sauce is a thicker type of hot sauce used on buffalo chicken wings. It will be near the ketchup and regular hot sauce at the grocery store.
This would easily serve 6-8 people. I would say 8 with salad and bread and dessert.
How many People will this serve (salad and garlic bread and dessert will be served — young adults)??
So quick, I love it!! I also love Buffalo chicken, so this will be a hit in my home. TFS
Another one I'll be Pinning and making very soon!
Love all your recipes and I would weigh 500lbs if I lived with you!!!Great uncomplicated recipes!
Sorry – I have never heard of "Frank's Hot Sauce". Can you help me out?
I usually find it on the top shelf in the Ketchup section of the grocer. But go for Franks "Buffalo" Sauce – very flavorful. The "Hot" is too hot and heavy.
Love this for a quick and tasty dinner idea!
those rotisserie chickens really make it easy to whoop up something
looks great
So quick, easy and flavourful!
Oh my gosh this looks so sinfully good!
