I’ve made several versions of savory cupcakes last year. Chicken Parmesan, Meatball Sub and Chicken Cordon Bleu. Obviously the next version was these Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes. They are super quick and super delicious. They are great for lunch, dinner or tailgating parties. I’m pretty sure these will be on our College Football Championship and Super Bowl menu.
These Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes use frozen popcorn chicken. There is no need to thaw the chicken before baking. It will bake up right along the cupcake dough. You may need more than 12 pieces of popcorn chicken if the pieces are small. I try and make sure the muffin up is full of chicken so nobody get cheated.
Yield: 12 cupcakes
