Buffalo Chicken Salad Pastry Puffs - Great recipe for a quick lunch, dinner or party. Chicken salad tossed with wing sauce, ranch dressing, and cheese then baked in puff pastry. SO good! Can make ahead and freeze for later. We love to serve these with some coleslaw and extra ranch or bleu cheese dressing for dipping. YUM! #chicken #puffpastry #wings #hotsauce #partyfood #appetizer #tailgating
You can substitute bleu cheese dressing or plain mayonnaise for the ranch dressing.
To keep the edges together during cooking :
Don't overfill the puff pastry
Wet the edges of the puff pastry with water to help seal the pastry together
Can use toothpicks to help keep the edges together
If the puff pastry does open up during cooking, don't panic. As soon as you take them out of the oven, gently press the edges together and they will stay together just fine after cooling. I had to do that with some of the puffs in this batch.
We didn't think these puffs were super spicy. Make sure to adjust the hot sauce up or down to your personal preference.
ou can assemble the pastry puff ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
