Storage Notes

Fridge:

Store leftovers for 3 days. Cold buffalo chicken pizza is actually amazing breakfast.

Air fryer at 350°F for 3 minutes. Skillet on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Microwave optional but crust gets sad.

Pro Tip:

Double the sauce. Toss the chicken in half. Use the other half as extra drizzle.
