Helpful Tips

Choose the Right Jalapeños: When selecting jalapeños, look for firm peppers that are bright green and free of blemishes. You can remove the seeds and membranes from the peppers to further reduce the spiciness.
Use Shredded Rotisserie Chicken: For a quick and flavorful filling, consider using shredded rotisserie chicken. It saves time and adds a depth of flavor that pairs perfectly with the buffalo sauce.
Bake for Optimal Texture: To achieve the best texture, bake the stuffed jalapeños until they are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Notes

Look for peppers that are firm with no visible scrapes or gashes and all about the same size.

If you want to lower the spice level remove all of the seeds and membrane from the inside of the jalapenos. If you want them with more spice leave some in.

Avoid overcooking the peppers; they should be soft enough to eat easily but still hold their shape.
