Buffalo chicken is obviously something we LOVE around here. I’m always looking for a new way to use a flavor we love, and that’s how these awesome bites were created!
These are a great game day snack or something to munch on during a movie night. Whether you heat them up with hot sauce or cool them down with blue cheese dip, they’re going to be someone’s favorite!
These are super convenient grab-and-go snacks that are easy to hold and reheat. They are PERFECT to carry for lunch because they’re not messy, they’re tasty at room temperature or microwaved, and they’re the type of lunch kids will love!
On top of all these benefits, they’re even easy to meal prep. You can store them in the freezer so you always have an easy, delicious dinner to fall back on! It’s basically giving a gift to yourself when you look at it that way!
Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Bites
- Cooked chicken: shredded, grilled, or rotisserie chicken work well. This is a great way to use up leftovers!
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese: I use sharp cheddar for the best flavor
- Cream Cheese: softened cream cheese
- Eggs: large eggs
- Green Onions: chopped fresh green onions
- Buffalo Sauce: this is naturally low carb, so a store bought buffalo sauce works.
- Almond Flour
- Baking Powder
How do you make Keto Chicken Bites?
This recipe is so simple. You can use a stand mixer to make it even easier, but you can also mix this with just a bowl and spoon.
First mix the shredded chicken and softened cream cheese, then combine the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Chill the mixture, then spoon onto a pan and bake! Easy peasy!
Can I Freeze These Keto Bites?
Yes! I freeze these all the time. Let them cool to room temperature, then freeze on a baking sheet so that they don’t clump together. Once hard, seal inside a freeze bag. To reheat, microwave in 30-second intervals.
What should I serve with Keto Chicken Bites?
The first thing you might want with these is a great dipping sauce! This Avocado Bacon Dip is great to mellow out any possible spiciness for those who are sensitive to it. This Jalapeno Ranch would help amp up that flavor for those who love it!
You could serve these tasty bites a few other appetizers for a fun dinner! Keto Zucchini Fries, Roasted Garlic Eggplant Rolls, and Sausage Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers would be perfect for a game night spread!
For a more formal dinner with sides, maybe pair these with Cheesy Roasted Asparagus or this Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole! You could also pair with a nice salad (like this Asparagus Avocado Tomato Salad) or soup (maybe Keto White Chicken Chili)!
Tips for Making Buffalo Chicken Bites
- Use brick-style cream cheese for this recipe. Full-fat or light will both work, but it must be brick-style.
- If you don’t follow a keto diet, you can likely use regular all-purpose flour to make this recipe. However, we have a gluten allergy in our household, so I’ve never tried this myself.
- Store the bites in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
- If you want them to be uniform in size and shape, cook them in a greased, silicone muffin pan.
