Buffalo Chicken Cheese Ball is perfect for The Big Game!Buffalo Chicken Cheese Ball 2

This is a great twist on buffalo chicken wings. You can add more heat if you want but this version has great flavor and is very easy to make. To make this recipe even easier, pick up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery. Shred the chicken and mix with the rest of the ingredients. Chill to set up. Roll the Buffalo Chicken Cheese Ball in some more shredded cheese. Sprinkle with some green onions and serve with crackers, corn chips or if you want to be a little more healthy, celery. Buffalo Chicken Cheese Ball | https://dadwhats4dinner.com

    Pretty creative, this, Quinn! Would make a great appetizer. Plus we’re always looking for ways to use up rotisserie chicken, aren’t we?
