Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/3 cup minced red onion
  • 1/3 cup minced celery
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onion for garnish

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Bowl
  • ice bath (bowl with ice and water)
  • Knife
  • spoon or fork
  • Piping bag or zip-top bag
  • Paper Towels

Method
 

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer or boil for 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice bath and cool completely, then peel.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks to a bowl; set whites aside on a platter.
  4. Add shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, minced red onion, minced celery, and crumbled blue cheese to the yolks and mash until combined and smooth (adjust texture as needed).
  5. Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped and pipe the mixture into the egg white halves.
  6. Garnish each filled egg with chopped green onion and a light drizzle of olive oil if desired, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.

Notes

  • Older eggs (5–7 days) peel more easily.
  • Crack and roll eggs, then slide a spoon under the shell to help peel.
  • Dry whites on paper towels so the filling grips better.
  • Mince onion and celery very fine and blot to remove excess moisture.
  • Start with less buffalo sauce; add more for heat or an extra yolk/1–2 tsp cream cheese if too runny.
  • Chill the filling 10–15 minutes before piping for firmer swirls.
