Nachos are a great crowd-pleasing appetizer, especially when served during a big game or anytime friends are gathered in front of the TV. These Buffalo Chicken Nachos (shown above, at top) blend two of our favorite sports bar foods and improve them both with a FINEX cast-iron presentation that keeps them hot longer than ever. These Buffalo Chicken Nachos are inspired by a local Portland craft brewery favored by our small team of perfectionists.
