I cannot adequately express in words the awesomeness that is these buffalo quinoa bites. When I first saw the recipe I was skeptical, but they turned out exactly as advertised.
The Hubs is a buffalo wing fanatic. I always say that he exists solely on pizza and buffalo wings when I go out of town. This is not an exaggeration. That is ALL that he eats. Pizza for dinner one night. Leftover pizza for lunch the next day. Buffalo wings for dinner. Repeat. When I decided to make this recipe, I figured there was NO WAY I could sell him on a quinoa version of his most favorite food. He did make his usual aw-shucks-no-meat face when I told him they were quinoa, but one or two bites later he was declaring his love for them.
Seriously people. These were amazing, and we devoured them in no time!
Tieghan’s (the creator this recipe) dad has an idea to open a buffalo restaurant. All things buffalo. I think I know a guy who would want to partner with him.
Speaking of Tieghan, I have to give her some major props. Its rare these days to find a recipe online that is well tested and turns out perfectly. Be sure to check out her blog Half Baked Harvest and show her some love.
You can find the full recipe for these buffalo quinoa bites HERE , or just come over to my house some time. I’m sure we’ll be making these often!
O-M-G these look ah-mazing!!
YUM! I am so going to try to make a vegan version of these. chicken wings were the hardest thing for me to give up when I stopped eating meat.
These are going out first on my BBQ days! They can also be served with a great salad, as an option for chicken.
That looks amazing. I am a HUGE fan of buffalo chicken bites, but my husband doesn’t like the bones or the chicken part of that mix. This would be a great compromise!
I love when recipes turn out the way their suppose to. (: Pinning this and will try it myself soon. Thanks!
YUM! These look so good and I’m a big buffalo chicken fan so this is a must try.
Oh my, these sound absolutely amazing and the perfect blend of my husband and my favorite ingredients! (Can you guess who loves what? :))
I made it tonight for dinner for me and my hubby and it was such a hit!! Thank you for such a wonderful WW recipe.
MADE THESE YESTERDAY FOR MY VEGETARIAN DAUGHTER, SHE LOVED THEM, AND SO DID HER FIANCE AND HER FATHER. I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOOD, BUT NOT A BIG FAN OF QUINOA. SHE ACTUALLY TOOK THE LEFTOVER ONES HOME, SO I KNOW SHE LIKED THEM!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR THE RECIPE!!
I cannot pull up the recipe
Hello Betsy
i just wanted to ask, if you have to “pre-cook” the quinoa or just put them together like it is, with all the ingredients?
greetings from germany
yes, the quinoa should be cooked first
