Instructions:
- Prepare the Buffalo Chicken:
- In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until fully coated. Set aside.
- Assemble the Sushi Roll:
- Place a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a flat surface. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over the mat, followed by a nori sheet, shiny side down.
- Add the Rice:
- Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small edge at the top for sealing. Gently press the rice down to flatten it.

- Roll the Sushi:
- Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi tightly from the bottom, pressing gently to form a firm roll. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut it into 6-8 pieces.
