Mini Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls � No Wings Were Harmed in the Making of This Snack

These mini buffalo chicken egg rolls remind me of the time I ordered something called �boneless Buffalo wings,� many years ago. Like all Western New Yorkers, I have a deep affection for this messy, but delicious snack, and so I was very excited about being able to enjoy some without having to deal with the wing bones.

As I waited for my order, I felt sorry for whichever prep cook had been given the tedious task of de-boning them. However, my sympathy was unwarranted, since what they were calling �boneless buffalo wings� were nothing more than strips of fried chicken breast, coated in the same sauce. While happy for the prep cook, I was disappointed they weren�t wings.

So, it�s a little bit ironic that all these years later, I'm now using chicken breast to create a Buffalo wing alternative, but at least I�m not trying to trick anybody. That aside, these really do have a very similar flavor profile, and I should probably be more concerned with the people who are going to be upset I�m calling these egg rolls.

What�s not going to upset anybody is just how great a party snack these really do make, and not just because they�re delicious. Even sober people make a mess eating actual buffalo chicken wings, but that�s not going to be an issue here, thanks to their very user-friendly design. So, if you�re planning a party soon, I really do hope you give these a try. Enjoy!
