Notes

  • Removing the seeds and membranes reduces the heat of the jalapeños.
  • Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe.
  • For crispier tops, broil the poppers for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños if you have sensitive skin.
Recipe Tips
• Use Rotisserie Chicken for Convenience – Rotisserie chicken works perfectly in this recipe and saves time. Simply shred the chicken and mix it into the buffalo filling.
• Adjust the Spice Level – For milder poppers, remove all jalapeño seeds and membranes before stuffing. For extra heat, leave a small amount of the membrane inside.
• Broil for a Golden Top – For a crispy golden cheese topping, broil the poppers for 1–2 minutes after baking. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
