Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken Mixture
- ½ cup Buffalo wing sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
Assembly
- 12 celery sticks, washed and trimmed
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles

Instructions
- Make Buffalo Chicken Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat until the mixture starts to bubble, then stir in the softened cream cheese until the sauce is smooth and fully combined.
- Coat Chicken: Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in the shredded cooked chicken until it is evenly coated with the buffalo cream cheese sauce.
- Chill Mixture: Transfer the buffalo chicken mixture to a container and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up slightly.
- Prepare Celery Sticks: While the mixture chills, wash and trim the celery sticks to the desired length for serving.
- Assemble Celery Sticks: Spread or spoon the chilled buffalo chicken mixture generously onto each celery stick, creating a hearty topping.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles and diced green onions over the loaded celery sticks. Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack.
