Buffalo Chicken Cups

Some of life’s greatest discoveries come from happy accidents. Legend has it that an accidental order of chicken wings were sent to a small bar in Buffalo, NY, where the owner would usually cure her chicken in vinegar. This time, she opted to add hot sauce to the wings, creating the dish we know and love as buffalo chicken… or, that’s how the story goes.

Wherever it came from, buffalo chicken has been a party favorite since its creation, and we’re happy to share a bariatric-friendly recipe that everyone can enjoy. From a creative dinner to a compliment-worthy finger food, this buffalo chicken belongs in your kitchen!
