The taste of buffalo wings and pepper poppers pair up in this appealing appetizer. It will disappear fast-so make a double batch, and have copies of the recipe handy. —Barbara Nowakowski, Mesa, Arizona

Ingredients

20 jalapeno peppers
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 cup diced cooked chicken
1/2 cup blue cheese salad dressing
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce

Cut peppers in half lengthwise, leaving stems intact; discard seeds. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pipe or stuff into pepper halves.
Place in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 20 minutes for spicy flavor, 30 minutes for medium and 40 minutes for mild.

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

One of my favorite appetizers to make! Combines the taste of pepper poppers and hot wings- two delicious appetizers in one. So quick and easy to make!

These were good. I cooked them for the full 40 minutes and they were still spicy butgood flavor. Very easy to make. I did cut the recipe in half as I had a small crowd. Worked fine.

Loved this recipe. Easy to make and they taste delicious. It reminds me of a buffalo chicken dip I make quite frequently. Never thought of piping into jalapenos. YUM!

There were no stars, so I couldn't give this 5 stars. Everyone DOES understand that it is the nature of 'Buffalo Wings' to be 'incredibly spicy'...right?!

Made this recipe yesterday and took it to my buffalo wing loving friends. They really liked them. I didn't use all the 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce because I wasn't sure how hot they would be. Also I used Tyson's grilled chicken in a 6 oz. pkg. This is my first time making poppers and I am glad I picked your recipe. Thanks for a wonderful appetizer!!!
