Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Poppers

 How about some spicy appetizers to serve at your next party?  I actually served these as a main course for my meal, along with a salad.  If you don't mind some heat, I think you'll love these.

Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Poppers

Try these for when you want a spicy appetizer, or do as I did, and serve them as a meal!

ingredients:

20 jalapenos (cut in half)

1 and 1/2 cup cooked,  shredded chicken (I used chicken thighs, but use a rotisserie, or whatever you have)

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup smoked cheddar (I used a Mexican blend of cheese and a few drops of liquid smoke)

1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce (I used Frank's)

2 tablespoons ranch dressing

1/4 teaspoon celery salt

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles ( I omitted because I didn't have any)

instructions:

Slice the jalapenos lengthwise, removing the seeds and membranes.  I wore plastic gloves!  Place the jalapenos on a baking sheet.

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the filling, except the blue cheese.

Add 1 tablespoon of the filling to each jalapeno half, and then top with the blue cheese.

At this point, you can refrigerate them. 

When ready to bake, preheat your grill, and when ready to cook, place the jalapenos on the indirect heat side of the grill.

Cook the jalapenos for 8-10 minutes.
