Tips for Making this Recipe
For this Buffalo chicken spaghetti squash recipe you can easily adjust the spiciness of this baked chicken spaghetti squash recipe by removing the seeds and veins of the jalapeno peppers before adding them to your buffalo. If you are wanting to tone down the spice factor a lot then you can skip the jalapeno peppers altogether.
I am also going to mention that while you might think of using a different hot sauce, I highly suggest using Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. I have found this hot sauce to have the best flavor in this Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash recipe.
How to Cut uncooked Spaghetti Squash
If you cant get your knife into the shell to cut it heating it in the microwave will make it easier. Using your knife make little dashes all the way around the squash where you are planning to cut it open. Then place it in the microwave for 5 minutes to soften the outside. Once it comes out you just cut along that line of dashes much easier. You are going to want to cut the spaghetti squash length wise so that you end up with two long pieces.
