BUFFALO CHICKEN JALAPENO POPPERS



Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Poppers image

This recipe was featured on the Rachel Ray show in October, 2009 as a quick and healthier version of the traditional popper. It's a very spicy, yet savory version of the appetizer. The original recipe calls for 18-20 jalapeno peppers, but I just used 10 and cut them in half to use both halves to fill. It also called for rotisserie chicken, but I substituted with chicken breast to cut down on cost and time.

Tips:

  • For a crispy outer coating, make sure the chicken is well-coated in flour before dipping it in the egg wash and then the bread crumbs. Use Panko bread crumbs for an extra-crispy texture.
  • To make the buffalo sauce, use a good quality hot sauce. Frank's RedHot is a classic choice, but you can use any hot sauce that you like.
  • If you like your poppers extra spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bread crumb mixture.
  • Be careful not to overcook the poppers, or the chicken will become dry. Cook them until the chicken is cooked through and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
  • Serve the poppers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
