I’m always on the hunt for super savory appetizers. Buffalo Chicken Pinwheel Appetizers are not only a breeze to make, they are economical too! You can use leftover rotisserie chicken or a can of pre-cooked chicken (like I did!) for these little beauties! Of course, if you love this recipe you may want to try this Loaded Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot recipe.

Copa and I either stay home for New Year’s Eve or go to friend’s homes nearby. We don’t like to be on the roads on NYE because of crazy drivers. The past two years, we’ve had cozy date nights at home while Cee Cee took friends to the beach for New Year’s Eve. I send a big pan of Buffalo Chicken Dip with Cee Cee, and make a second batch for us.
This fall, I got crazy and integrated a warm pastry version of our favorite appetizer – Buffalo Chicken Pinwheel Appetizers. I pulled out a tube of crescent rolls and changed the proportions of ingredients just a tad to make a thicker mixture of buffalo chicken goodness. I even integrated these into my continued 12 Week Weight-loss Challenge by using low fat ingredients. The results were really good, but when serving guests I’d use the full fat options.
I know you will enjoy these appetizers all year round, just like we do!
