What I Made {Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad}

Hi friends,  hope you all are enjoying this gorgeous Sunday....

 

 Despite all the forecasts calling for rain earlier in the week, yesterday

 

 turned out to be a perfectly lovely day for a 2nd birthday party!!

 

The water slide was a huge hit along with my Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad!!

 

I can not tell you how many people asked me what it was and who made it!

 

This time I did not get the recipe off of Pinterest! Shocker, I know, and I'm

 

pretty sure no one believed me! What makes this pasta salad different is that

 

 I used actually "buffalo chicken"

 

 in this recipe! My family is addicted to the Tyson Buffalo Chicken Strips so

 

I thought it would be the perfect addition to this pasta salad, and boy was it

 

 ever!! I also used Frank's Red Hot Sauce, but not to much as I knew the

 

 kiddos would be eating this as well! This recipe is really very simple and

 

 great for large parties! To make it for a small gathering simply cut the

 

 recipe in half! It's that easy!

 

I guarantee it will be a hit at your next barbecue!!

2 boxes Farfalle pasta
