FAQ
Usually buffalo chicken flatbread or pizza has olive oil, ranch, or bleu cheese dressing instead of tomato sauce. It tastes better with the buffalo sauce.
According to TIME magazine, buffalo chicken wings were developed by Teressa Bellassimo, of the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. She served them, covered in her special sauce, with celery and bleu cheese because that's what she had on hand.

How can I repurpose?
Serve buffalo chicken flatbread toppings as a salad or wrap: add buffalo chicken, cheese, and vegetables over lettuce and enjoy as a salad, or wrap in tortilla for a wrap. The ranch or bleu cheese will be great over it.
