Ingredients

½ cup hot sauce such as Frank’s
6 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. honey or sugar
1 clove garlic finely minced
¼ tsp. salt to taste
4 Tbsp. cream cheese cut into 4-6 pieces
4 cups chicken cooked, shredded
1 bunch celery cut into 2-3 inch long pieces
Ranch optional
Green onions optional

Instructions

Make the Sauce: In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat combine hot sauce, butter, honey, garlic and salt. Bring ingredients to a boil while whisking constantly. Once sauce is boiling, turn off the heat and add cream cheese. Whisk until combined. (It’s ok if some small clumps remain.)

Sauce the Chicken: Pour sauce over shredded chicken in a large bowl and toss until chicken is coated.
4 cups chicken
Fill and Serve: Fill each celery stick with 1-2 tablespoons of buffalo chicken. Top sticks with green onions and drizzle each with ranch dressing or serve on the side for dipping. Serve them immediately, while the chicken is still warm, or serve them chilled. If serving these chilled, wait until 1-2 hours before serving to assemble so the celery does not get soggy.
