Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken Skewers
- 1 box Farm Rich Buffalo Chicken Bites
- 8 ounces blue cheese, cut into cubes
- 3 celery stalks, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 12 skewers
Spicy Avocado Ranch Dipping Sauce
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup lightly packed chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Cook Chicken Bites: Cook the Farm Rich Buffalo Chicken Bites according to the package directions, usually by baking or air frying until crispy and heated through.
- Prepare Dipping Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, buttermilk, chopped fresh dill, chopped parsley, onion powder, kosher salt, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper in a blender. Puree until smooth and creamy. Pour the sauce into a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Assemble Skewers: Once the chicken bites are cooked, thread one piece of celery, one cube of blue cheese, and one chicken bite onto each skewer. Repeat this pattern for all skewers.
- Serve: Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter and serve immediately with the chilled spicy avocado ranch dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, cook the chicken bites in an air fryer if available.
- Adjust cayenne and hot sauce in the dipping sauce to your preferred spice level.
- These skewers can be prepped ahead by assembling and refrigerating before serving; add blue cheese last to maintain texture.
- Use wooden skewers soaked in water beforehand to prevent burning if cooking skewers directly on heat.
- Blue cheese can be substituted with feta or cheddar for a milder taste.
