Buffalo Chicken Wing Poppers

By Christie

Buffalo Wings are on the top ten football foods list of many (if not all) tailgate, Super Bowl and TV football party foods. They have become synonymous with game day, and they are messy! But, here's a recipe with the same great taste and no mess!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 3/4 cups corn flake crumbs
• 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1/3 cup Buffalo Wing hot sauce (more or less to taste)*
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• Celery sticks
• Blue cheese or Ranch dressing
• Additional Buffalo Wing sauce, optional dipping

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.

Place flour, beaten eggs and corn flake crumbs in three separate bowls. Set aside. Mix together well the shredded chicken, hot sauce, softened cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Shape into 24 chicken wing shaped bit-size logs (or 1 1/2 -inch balls). Roll poppers in flour, dip in egg then roll in corn flake crumbs (to reduce dipping mess - first roll all poppers in flour, then begin to dip in egg and roll in crumbs). Place poppers on prepared baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp on the outside. Serve warm, dipped in additional wing sauce, blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing and enjoy with cool celery sticks.

Makes 24 poppers, serves 6- 8
