Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels Recipe | Easy & Spicy Appetizer Ideas

These Buffalo chicken pinwheels are spicy, creamy, and downright addictive! Made with shredded chicken, hot sauce, ranch, and cream cheese—all rolled up in soft tortillas—this easy appetizer is perfect for game day, parties, or anytime you need a no-fuss crowd-pleaser.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 24 pinwheels 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)

1/4 cup ranch dressing

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 green onions, thinly sliced

3 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

Optional: extra ranch or blue cheese for dipping

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, hot sauce, and ranch dressing until smooth.

2. Stir in shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and green onions until well combined.

3. Lay out the tortillas and divide the mixture evenly among them. Spread in an even layer to edges.

4. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes for clean slicing.

5. Unwrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter.

6. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.

Notes

• Use flavored tortillas (spinach or sun-dried tomato) for color and taste.

• These pinwheels hold up well—make up to 1 day ahead.

• Add chopped celery for crunch or blue cheese crumbles for more bold flavor.
