FIVE INGREDIENT BUFFALO CHICKEN PINWHEELS
These Five Ingredient Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels are the perfect party appetizer everyone will love. Fresh rotisserie chicken, Frank’s buffalo sauce, green onion and cream cheese are ingredients that are easy to find, inexpensive to buy and perfect for game day.
What happens when you combine a buffalo loving husband, a bottle of hot sauce and a dire need to whip up an appetizer in less than 20 minutes?
I know this recipe isn’t tremendously ground-breaking and errs more on the side oftoo simple, but these little guys are – for lack of a better word – incredible. I wouldn’t even normally post the recipe here, especially when there are about 5,687 other similar recipes within the depths of the internet, BUT I’ve had some requests for a few simple, quick dishes and these were snatched up so fast, I knew I was on to something that needed to be shared.
What is it about buffalo that sucks everyone in? It’s almost like it has this magnetic pull, even the snobbiest of food lovers out there seem to swoon over the stuff. I didn’t even know how much I loved buffalo sauce until Kevin first requested I make him deep-fried hot wings back when we were first dating.
In the beginning stages of our relationship, I was also in the beginning stages of this blog, and I longed to cook gourmet food, not waste precious time and daylight on deep-fried wings I could find at any corner bar. But I obliged, and even took notes from one of Kevin’s friends that he deemed “made the best wings EVER.” The simple recipe consisted of only flour, salt, cayenne pepper, butter and Frank’s Red hot sauce, and they were, as promised, the best wings EVER.
I’ve been an avid wing and buffalo lover ever since, throwing my snooty food attitude to the wind, and relishing in the fiery addiction. The possibilities are endless when it comes to variations on the buffalo wing, but more often than not, a recipe’s end result is something bubbling hot in nature, and while perfect when at home entertaining, it doesn’t exactly bode well for outdoor tailgating.
One of my guilty pleasures at football parties and tailgates are those mini tortilla pinwheels stuffed to the brim with cream cheese, black olive and jalapenos, it’s one of those finger foods I can just never say no to. So when I had less than 24 hours to plan a tailgate for the World Series, and spotted a half-empty bottle of hot sauce and block of cream cheese in the fridge, a little light bulb went off in my head. Buffalo chicken dip (Kev’s favorite) + tortilla pinwheels (my favorite) = the perfect game day snack.
With only five ingredients these suckers come together in under 20 minutes, a quick chill in the fridge lets the cream cheese, chicken and hot sauce mixture solidify and then each roll is ready to be sliced and inhaled – and they will be inhaled.
Happy Friday everyone!
