Easy Appetizer Recipes
As I’ve said before on this website, I’m often more of a fan of appetizers than main courses. I’d be perfectly happy at a wedding reception if there was just a spread of yummy appetizers and finger foods. So, I’m always on the lookout for a fun, easy and delicious appetizer recipe to share.
And we’ve shared a ton here on Bubba Pie, from easy handhelds like these Chicken Parmesan Sliders to a twist on a classic recipe like these Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs. But, I live with my husband, and he LOVES anything spicy. So, Buffalo Sauce has been a major ingredient to a lot of our appetizer and game day recipes as well.
What Can You Make With Buffalo Sauce?
Buffalo Sauce is a fantastic ingredient that can add some kick and flavor to just about any dish. There are so many different kinds, that I’m sure you can find one that fits your taste buds. We actually make our own Homemade Buffalo Sauce, which is awesome because we can tailor it to taste just like we want it to.
With that, we’ve made tons of delicious recipes, including Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels, Buffalo Cauliflower Bites and this delicious Buffalo Chicken Dip! Now, we’d like to add one spicy appetizer recipe for you to enjoy, Buffalo Chicken Fries!
Buffalo Chicken Fries
I love this recipe because it is so darned easy, quick and super tasty. We almost always have all of these ingredients laying around in our kitchen. So I know I can whip some up in a hurry if I need a quick appetizer for guests. Here are the ingredients that you will need:
- Chicken tenders, prepared. (We have a Bisquick Chicken Finger Recipe that would be perfect!)
- Shoestring French fries
- Buffalo Wing Sauce
- Monterrey Jack Cheese
- Ranch Dressing
- Blue Cheese Crumbles
- Salt
- Chopped Green Onion for garnish
Buffalo Chicken Fries: Notes, Tips and Variations
- Experiment with Cheese!- While we use Monterrey Jack Cheese, you try your own variation. From Cheddar to Mozzarella or even Pepper Jack to give it even more of a kick!
- Improvise with the French Fries!- Everyone has their favorite kind of French Fry. From big and thick Steak Fries to Potato Wedges to Waffle Fries. Use your own favorite in this recipe!
- Use Chicken Breasts- If you want to shave a little calories off of this recipe (buy why?!?!), you can sub the breaded chicken for boneless skinless baked chicken breast. Just shred the chicken after baking at. Or, you can use a Rotisserie Chicken you bought at the store!
