I love jalapeño poppers AND buffalo chicken so I decided to combine the two and really spice things up!
Baked Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Poppers
These little jalapeño poppers pack a punch! A delicious twist on the classic appetizer and the perfect between-meal snack. A few other jalapeno recipes that I love include low-carb jalapeno popper “nachos” and jalapeno popper stuffed chicken!
These jalapeño poppers are so good and really easy to make. The perfect hot appetizer to watch them play or catch up with friends. Prepare them ahead of time and bake them just before you’re ready to serve them. They should be served hot, so don’t bake them ahead of time.
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Jalapeño Poppers
The buffalo chicken filling is easy! You can use leftover chicken breasts from a rotisserie chicken or cook them yourself in the slow cooker. Simply cover with water or chicken broth and cook on low for 4 hours, then shred. Add some cream cheese, hot cayenne pepper sauce, and scallions and mix it all together! Stuff, bread and bake in jalapeño halves! They are slightly spicy and so good!
Variations and Tips
- To make these jalapeno poppers low carb, skip the panko and wrap them in bacon instead.
- Wear gloves – please do yourself a favor and wear gloves when cutting the peppers. And don’t put your hands in your eyes or mouth afterwards, it burns.
