Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Bites

By cwaldron09

Delicious! I couldn't find cupcake tin so I used a cookie shape and they didn't hold a ball shape so i ate them with a fork. Also, I used teryaki sauce instead of bbq, and it was delicious. I didn't make the dipping sauce and I switched off between ranch and soy sauce, both were tasty. Super easy and yummy!
