Buffalo Chicken Deviled Eggs (Aka Buffalo Horns)

Submitted by Phammy

"If you love deviled eggs then you'll love this spin off with chicken, buffalo sauce, and celery. Published by Debbie Moose (Deviled Egg: 50 Recipes from Simple to Sassy) ***if you like a lot of chicken, I now use a full cup of chopped (and I'm talking chopped) chicken and any extra mix I have after the eggs are filled, I use them on a celery log and cut them into bite size pieces (think ants on a log). Also, I now add a little bit of ranch to the chicken soaked in buffalo sauce (thanks to a review). ENJOY!"

Everyone enjoyed these! So easy, makes me wonder why I never thought of this before. I served my celery on the side instead of in the recipe, thats just me.

I agree with rgfihj and substitute the butter with cream cheese. I would sprinkle on top a bit of crumb blue cheese.

I absolutely LOVE this idea...great combination. However, I changed a few things to make it even better. Instead of using 1/4 cup butter, I used 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened. Then I used green onions instead of celery, only because I didn't have any celery in the house, and it was delicious! I, too, added some ranch and a little blue cheese dressing and it was very creamy and yummy.

Fabulous! We loved the combo of buffalo chicken with the deviled eggs. I included the suggested small amount of Ranch dressing and used about 1/2 c of shredded chicken. Thanks for sharing! PAC Spring '12

I thought these were great. DH gave them a little less enthusiastic review. That may be because I took it a little easy on the wing sauce to ensure these were crowd friendly. I did add about a tsp. of fat free ranch which I think really enhanced the flavor. I think this is a keeper!
