Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels

May 16, 2019 by Sandy 3 Comments

Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels are delicious, and have a nice tangy flavor and a bit of heat to them. These tortilla pinwheels are perfect for your next party, or Game Day! Tortilla pinwheel recipes are easy to make and people love to eat them. There are dozens of variations you can make for any occasion.

Football fans are gearing up for the Big Game! I was inspired to share with you a favorite Game Day appetizer. You don't have to be a football fan to love these Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels! That unmistakeable hot wing sauce flavor, paired with blue cheese and a bit of celery. All in one tasty bite!

These are great because you can feed a crowd. I can get 6 rolls out of this recipe, and I cut each roll in about 6 or 8 pieces. If you are having a really big group over, just double the batch!

Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels are better if made ahead by a couple of hours, as they are easier to slice when chilled. Plus the flavors have a chance to blend. You can use a cooled rotisserie chicken, or just boil some chicken breasts for 20-30 minutes, then shred & cool it.

When I make these Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels, I have to do a few of the rolls without the blue cheese crumbles in them. Paul is a fan of the Seahawks, but not of blue cheese! I just put out some ranch dressing for him, and he's happy. Until Wilson gets sacked!

Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Keyword: buffalo chicken appetizer recipe
Servings: 12 3 piece servings
Calories: 160 kcal
Author: Sandy Clifton
Ingredients
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 2 Tbsp Sour Cream
  • ¾ cup Frank’s Red Hot, or your favorite wing sauce
  • 2 cups Shredded Chicken
  • ¾ cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup Blue Cheese Crumbles
  • ¼ cup Celery, finely diced
  • 5 Flour Tortillas, 8 inch, room temperature
Instructions
  1. Mix together cream cheese, sour cream, and hot sauce until smooth.
  2. Add, chicken, cheeses and celery. Mix until combined.
  3. Spread about ⅓ to ½ cup on a flour tortilla in a smooth layer. Stop about ½ inch from the edges.
  4. Roll up fairly tightly (you want it to stay put, but not press out all of the filling as you roll). The first one is usually a practice one. Like making the first pancake!
  5. After you get them all rolled, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Before Serving
  1. Unwrap the rolls. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut each roll in ½ inch segments.
  2. Arrange on a platter and set out shortly before your guests arrive. I usually put out half of them, then when they are running low, bring out the other half.
Recipe Notes

If you aren't a fan of blue cheese in the pinwheels, set out some blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
