Easy Buffalo Chicken Bites
Looking for quick and tasty party snacks? Look no further. These itty bitty Easy Buffalo Chicken Bites are just the thing to serve at your holiday or game-day party!
A hoard of feverish football fans are heading to your house this fall. Do you feel calm and collected?
If not, that’s okay. Most people get a bit frazzled at the thought of preparing food for a large group.
My game plan is to make a few show-stopping snacks, then fill in with easy store-bought items like chips and salsa, or veggies and dip.
That way, the dishes I make really stand out, yet I’m not preparing days in advance.
I always try to provide party snacks that are loaded with comforting flavors, yet are presented in a unique way.
Like these little Easy Buffalo Chicken Bites.
You can’t very well have a game day party without buffalo chicken, but you can steer clear of sticky wings and red fingerprints on the sofa.
Easy Buffalo Chicken Bites wrap all the goodness of buffalo wings, in neat little packages to keep your fingers clean.
I whipped up an easy creamy buffalo chicken filling with hot wing sauce, celery, onions, and cream cheese. Then scooped it into Athens Mini Fillo Shells.
Before serving, I simply sprinkled crumbled blue cheese, bacon, and chopped celery leaves over the top. Voila!
I love using phyllo cups for super bowl snacks like this.
They are pre-baked, so you can serve them straight out of the package, but you can also pop them in the oven for bubbly-hot appetizers and desserts.
Easy Buffalo Chicken Bites are such and fun and tasty snack to whip up for all your fall events.
Make them for your holiday parties this year… They’ll be the first thing to disappear!

Love those little phyllo cups! These are a great alternative to the messy wing. Great flavor combination. I need to try these!
These would be a bit hit with the boys for sure. I love those little phyllo cups they are just right for tasty bites!
I love those little phyllo cups – I always keep some in my freezer because there are a million things you can do with them, and they are perfect for quick and easy last minute entertaining.
These are absolutely delightful! What a flavorful creation. Although I’m not a fan of the Super Bowl, I’m still going to make these just to indulge a little! I’ll “pretend” to be watching the game while I eat these cuties! :P Have a good weekend!
Bite size and perfect! I’d like the whole plate to myself :) Great party food.
When I saw the title in my feed reader, I was expecting something totally different. After clicking through, I was pleasantly surprised :) These look SO good. Love the addition of celery leaves on top.
These look so cute! I love finger food like this!

You know I adore these! Perfect for Super Bowl too!
I love that these are bite size! I think food is so much better this way so you have an excuse to eat more, and try more!
I’m mad for anything ‘buffalo chicken’. These are a perfect bit, so cute and I’m sure delicious. Great creation Sommer! Just included a link to you for a gluten free game day recipe round up! After our live chat this week I was left hungry for football food!
