Healthy Buffalo Chicken & Celery Bites
I love a happy accident. When these Buffalo Chicken & Celery Appetizers came to be, I had fully set out to make buffalo chicken lettuce wraps. It just so happened that the day before I received the hugest bunch of celery I had ever seen in my CSA box. My buffalo chicken lettuce cup idea included celery too, but actually seeing the celery turned on a light bulb in my brain.
People often ask me where my inspiration comes from. Well, this is it. I see something that will spark an idea, or an idea will magically pop into my head seemingly for no reason. It has been this way my entire life. It’s actually kind of a fun way to live….except when I get no ideas for a while. Those times can be frustrating, and I feel a little lost, but thankfully they don’t come around too often.
On the flip side, perhaps there are no accidents at all. Perhaps I was meant to make Buffalo Chicken & Celery Appetizers all along I was just waiting for the right bunch of celery to come into my life to let me know.
Whatever the reason, this awesome appetizer presented itself in my brain just in time for March Madness. It’s really the perfect bite-sized snack for all the basketball and buffalo sauce fans in your life.

For a healthier take on buffalo chicken wings with celery and bleu cheese on the side, this was fantastic. It was like the same meal, all pieced together into one convenient finger food. It was much less messy than buffalo chicken wings too, and the bleu cheese nixed the need to dip it into any dressing at all. Amazing taste that goes well with the celery, and very creative. Thanks for posting this unique recipe.
