These deviled eggs combine shredded buffalo chicken with creamy egg yolks and tangy blue cheese crumbles for a spicy, savory appetizer perfect for game nights and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 cup shredded cooked rotisserie or leftover chicken breast
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot Original)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or avocado oil mayo for lighter option)
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives or green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced celery

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, turn off the heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Drain and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
  3. Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell and peel under running water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks into a mixing bowl. Arrange egg whites on a serving plate.
  4. Mash the yolks with a fork or potato masher until crumbly but smooth enough to scoop.
  5. Add shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, mayonnaise, blue cheese crumbles, diced celery, chopped chives, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks.
  6. Stir all ingredients until thoroughly combined and creamy, but still with some texture from the chicken and celery. Taste and adjust seasoning or buffalo sauce as needed.
  7. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half generously with the buffalo chicken yolk mixture.
  8. Top each filled egg with extra blue cheese crumbles and a sprinkle of chopped chives for garnish.
  9. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and filling to firm up.

Notes

If buffalo sauce is too runny, drain excess liquid before mixing to avoid watery filling. For smoother filling, pulse chicken briefly in a food processor. Use piping bag for neat presentation or spoon if unavailable. Chill eggs before serving for best flavor and texture. Can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free or lighter options. Blue cheese can be swapped with feta or goat cheese for milder flavor.
