Buffalo Chicken Deviled Eggs
A fun twist on traditional deviled eggs, loaded with a creamy buffalo chicken mixture.
Last year I had good intentions of decorating eggs with our oldest. It didn’t happen, I just dropped the ball. I still have our supplies from last year and now have some new added to the mix. This will happen. I have a vision of pretty eggs in an assortment of shades and patterns. Nothing left to stop me but knowing how to hard boil eggs.
Did I happen to mention that I’ve never made hard boiled eggs before? That’s kind of a necessity to making pretty Easter eggs. So, I needed to do a bit of research before starting. I guess everyone has their own preference in how to make the perfect hard boiled egg so I’ll be sharing what worked for me below.
I decided to do a test run and make a tasty treat out of them while I was at it. Not only were the eggs easy to make, they were a hit with The Mr and our youngest daughter! These are a fun twist on traditional deviled eggs, loaded with a creamy buffalo chicken mixture.
Share these at your next party, your friends and family will thank you.
Buffalo Chicken Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs hard boiled
- 1/4 C chicken
- 2-3 Tbsp celery minced
- 3 Tbsp chunky blue cheese dressing
- 1/4 C buffalo wing sauce
- Celery for garnish
- Blue cheese crumbles
- Additional buffalo wing sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Place a 1/4 cup size piece of chicken in a small saucepan with enough chicken broth or water to cover. Cook over medium heat until chicken is white throughout. Remove, shred and chop. Set aside.
- Mince 2-3 tablespoons of celery. Set aside.
- In a medium to large saucepan, place eggs in a single layer. Cover to 1" over eggs with cold water, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a rapid rolling boil. Remove from heat, let sit for 1 minute. Cover and sit for 12-15 minutes. Remove eggs one at a time with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water. After eggs have cooled slightly, crack one gently. Using your thumb, not your nail, begin removing the shell. Continue this process until the shell has been completely removed. Place egg in a clean bowl. Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Slice eggs in half length wise. Pop out yolks, add to a small bowl. Place cooked egg whites on a plate or cutting board.
- To the yolks add celery, chicken, blue cheese dressing and buffalo sauce. Mix well. Add mixture to a piping bag with desired tip or a plastic bag with the corner cut off.
- Fill egg cavities with buffalo chicken mixture. May be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Prior to serving, top off with thin shreds of celery, blue cheese crumbles and a drizzle of buffalo sauce if desired.
Love this idea!! Anything with buffalo, you know I’m there! Your daughter is so cute in that last picture — great shot. And speaking of great shot, these pictures are stunning, I love the lighting in the first one!
This is such a fantastic idea! I love deviled eggs so I know I could put a few of these away easily.
I’m not a fan of deviled eggs but I am all about these. Awesome idea!
I knew as soon as I saw “buffalo” anything Cassie would be stopping by :) These look fantastic Rachel. I’m so on board. I knew I bought an extra dozen eggs for a reason!!
I still have the decorating stuff from last year too! I will get it done this year!! These deviled eggs are such a fun idea!
Oooo, these sound good. I am a deviled egg FANATIC as well as a buffalo anything fanatic so I have got to try these! What a genius idea.
This was such an awesome idea! I’ll be making these next year for husband!
I can’t believe what you’re doing to me. I already had a long list of deviled egg variations I wanted to try and now another one! With buffalo chicken? Blue cheese? I’m going to have to pluck something else from the lineup because there’s no way I can miss out on this!
These look so gorgeous, and I’m game for anything buffalo-related!
We don’t decorate eggs, but with all the great deviled egg creations I’m seeing lately, I wish we did!!
This is such a creative take on devlied eggs! Love it!
Oh my goodness that picture of your daughter is adorable! I love the look on her face. I think mr would be pretty happy with this tangy twist on a deviled egg. Great idea!
These are pretty much amazing. I pinned them to my “Game Day” board, and can’t wait to make them when football season starts up again!
My family is one of those that is stuck on the same deviled egg recipe and has been for years – which stinks because I see recipes like this and I so want to try them!
