Keto Spicy Buffalo Chicken Chaffle Sandwich
If you have been navigating the ketogenic lifestyle for any length of time, you have likely heard the legend of the 'Chaffle.' This cheese-and-egg waffle hybrid completely revolutionized low-carb eating by solving the biggest problem keto dieters face: the lack of crispy, holdable bread. But we aren't just making plain chaffles today; we are turning up the heat. This Spicy Buffalo Chicken Chaffle Sandwich is the ultimate comfort food hack. By combining the metabolic boost of capsaicin-rich buffalo sauce with high-quality protein, this meal keeps you in fat-burning mode while satisfying those intense cravings for pub-style food. The chaffle provides a crunchy, savory exterior that holds up perfectly to the creamy, spicy chicken filling, unlike lettuce wraps which often fall apart. With almost zero carbs and a massive hit of protein, this is the perfect fuel to power you through your afternoon without the post-lunch energy crash.
The Masterplan
Preheat your mini waffle maker. If you don't have a mini, a standard waffle iron works, but you will make fewer, larger waffles.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, and baking powder until smooth. Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese until well combined. This is your chaffle batter.
Sprinkle a tiny bit of extra cheese directly onto the hot waffle iron (this ensures extra crispiness), then pour half of the batter onto the center. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the steam stops and the chaffle is golden brown and crispy. Repeat for the second chaffle.
While the chaffles are cooling (cooling is essential for them to firm up like bread), prepare the filling.
In a separate bowl, mix the shredded chicken, melted butter, softened cream cheese, and buffalo sauce. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated and creamy.
Assemble the sandwich: Place one chaffle on a plate, pile the buffalo chicken mixture high, top with blue cheese crumbles and green onions, and cap it with the second chaffle.
Serve immediately while the chicken is warm and the chaffle is crisp.
