  • Buffalo chicken flavor makes these bites irresistible and perfect for sharing secretly, you might want to double the batch.

  • Using a serrated knife gives cleaner cuts and helps keep those pretty spirals intact.
03 -
  • Lightly pressing the roll as you wrap helps keep the filling inside, without squishing it out.
  • A touch more Buffalo sauce drizzled over the pinwheels right before serving gives them glossy appeal and extra tang.
