Buffalo Chicken Bites
Over the years, I’ve created just about every variant on the Buffalo wing you can think of. Buffalo chicken sandwiches, Buffalo chicken pasta salad, Buffalo chicken wraps…I’ve done it all.
But the original Buffalo chicken wing still has something special going for it: its size. A platter of Buffalo chicken wings makes a great party appetizer. A big bowl of Buffalo chicken pasta salad, not so much.
Unfortunately, Buffalo chicken wings are also very messy to make and eat. That spicy sauce gets all over everything, so by the time you’ve finished that tray of wings, you’ve also gone through a whole pack of paper napkins. Not to mention you still have all those bones to dispose of.

These Buffalo Chicken Bites are the perfect compromise. They’ve got the zesty flavor of a Buffalo wing in a perfect bite-sized form, but they’re also neat and self-contained. Just pick them up and bite right in – no napkins needed.
These babies are so neat and so festive, you could pass around a tray of them at a fancy black-tie party and no one would bat an eye. Try that with regular Buffalo wings, and those black ties won’t stay black for long.

I have never seen “Buffalo Sauce “ in any grocery store. I assumed the whole point of this recipe would be how to make the sauce. The rest of this recipe is pretty straightforward. Can you provide a recipe for the sauce?
Hi Corey! Can this recipe be served cold or made ahead of time? Thanks!
I think serving them cold would be ok. I have only served them warm, but it is a type of chicken salad, and that is always good cold. Let me know if you try it and how it was!
Guessing this could also be served directly on celery ribs. Yumm!!!
Yes! Very yummy on celery!
