Description

Buffalo Chicken Pretzel Bites combine spicy buffalo chicken, creamy cheese, and soft pretzel dough into bite-sized delights. Perfect for game day or parties, these appetizers are a crowd-pleaser with their golden, crispy exterior and savory, flavorful filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 lb pretzel dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and ranch dressing until well combined.
  3. Roll out the pretzel dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  4. Cut the dough into 3-inch squares. Place a small spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each square.
  5. Fold the corners of the dough toward the center and pinch the seams tightly to seal. Roll gently into a ball.
  6. Place the pretzel bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each bite with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pretzel bites are golden brown. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Equipment

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by choosing mild or hot buffalo sauce.
  • For a twist, use barbecue sauce instead of buffalo sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
