- ¼ cup hot buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot sauce)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 stalks celery, finely diced
- ¼ cup onion, finely diced
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded chicken, ½ cup ranch dressing, ¼ cup hot buffalo wing sauce, 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 2 finely diced celery stalks, ¼ cup finely diced onion, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder. Mix everything thoroughly until well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Celery Sticks: Wash and dry 3-4 large celery stalks thoroughly. Cut the celery into 4 to 5-inch pieces, making them easy to handle and serve.
- Assemble and Serve: Fill each celery stalk piece generously with the buffalo chicken mixture using a spoon. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately for a fresh and crunchy appetizer.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.
- For a milder flavor, substitute buffalo wing sauce with a milder hot sauce or BBQ sauce.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
- These can be prepared ahead of time but are best served fresh to keep the celery crisp.
- Add chopped fresh parsley or chives on top as a garnish for extra flavor and color.
