Buffalo Chicken Chaffles are crispy, cheesy waffles packed with shredded chicken, cheddar, mozzarella, and Buffalo sauce. They cook in just minutes in a waffle maker for an easy lunch, dinner, or snack.
I love the combination of crispy cheese and spicy Buffalo chicken in these chaffles. Add a little feta, celery, or extra hot sauce on top for even more flavor.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Chaffles
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Whisk the almond flour and baking powder together in a small bowl.
Mix the Batter: Preheat the waffle maker to medium-high and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Beat the eggs until frothy, then mix in the hot sauce. Stir in the almond flour mixture until just combined.
Add the Chicken and Cheese: Mix in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella, then fold in the shredded chicken.
Cook the Chaffles: Add the batter to the preheated waffle maker and cook for about 4 minutes, or until browned and crisp on the outside. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Add the Toppings: Top with crumbled feta, diced celery, and extra hot sauce before serving.
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Preheat the Waffle Maker: A hot waffle maker helps the chaffles cook evenly and get crisp.
- Don’t Overfill: Leave a little room for the batter to spread as it cooks.
- Wait Before Opening: Let the chaffle brown before lifting the lid so it releases more easily.
- Make Them Crispier: Let the chaffles rest for a minute or two after cooking; they’ll crisp up as they cool.
