Bring your go-to buffalo chicken wings together with a super speedy flatbread you can whip up in a quarter of an hour. Start with a crunchy naan, pile on spicy buffalo goodness, toss on juicy shredded chicken plus loads of gooey cheese, then bake for grab-and-eat wing vibes, minus the mess.
Made these on the fly last Friday and they were gone in seconds. The trick? Go for sauce underneath the cheese so it stays juicy, but let those pizza edges get a bit browned for extra crunch.
Irresistible Ingredients and Handy Picks
- Blue cheese dressing: Grab the chunky stuff, not the watered down one
- Chicken: Rotisserie works or cook up a fresh batch at home
- Monterey Jack cheese: Grate it yourself and you’ll get top melt
- Naan bread: Soft, fresh naan ensures the perfect base
- Blue cheese: Crumbled fresh is tastier than bagged
- Green onions: Snag some perky, bright-green ones
- Buffalo sauce: Go for a sauce that isn’t super tangy
Uncomplicated Assembly Steps
- Step 1:
- Get the Bake On: Heat your oven all the way up. Brush oil onto naan, including the edges. Set it on a sheet pan. Leave space at the edge for a crispy handle. Sling sauce across evenly.
- Step 2:
- Tower the Toppings: Splash chicken all over. Next, comes cheese for that golden melt. Dot with blue cheese sparingly. Keep those crust edges bare for a crunch.
- Step 3:
- Nail the Finish: Aim for the middle rack. Watch for golden cheese and crispy naan bottom. Pull out once browning looks good. Chill a sec, then slice.

Figured out on a hectic weeknight—the best move is chopping, measuring, and setting out everything first. Makes for smooth assembly and stops the naan from getting soggy while you prep.
Prep-Ahead Shortcuts
Make life simple: Get chicken shredded early. Pre-measure toppings. Pour sauce before starting. Set out garnishes. Clear your work spot in advance.
Tasty Eating Ideas
These pair up easily: Toss a basic green salad. Lay out celery sticks plus carrot chips. Serve extra buffalo sauce around. Offer ranch too. Cracking open a chilled drink works great.
Taking It Up a Notch
Works everywhere: Quick family chow-down gets a boost. Perfect on game day—grab-and-go style. Easy late-night bite. Chill parties everyone loves it. Makes a solid lunch reheat, too.
Fun Flavor Twists
Change things up: Swap ranch for blue cheese if you want. Toss in some chopped celery for crunch. Play around with blends of cheese. Top with bacon bits. Try sweet BBQ sauce to change it up.
Get the Heat Right
Temperature matters: Start with a totally heated oven. Don’t use cold toppings. Cheese should melt evenly. Edge browning tells you it's time. Crisp up the bottom for the best texture.
Leftover Game and Warmup
Fresh is tops, but extras are great too: Put in a sealed container. Heat again in a hot oven, not the microwave. Toss on fresh toppings after heating. Eat up within a couple days.
