Description
Buffalo Chicken Cucumber Rolls are spicy, crisp, low-carb bites made with thin cucumber ribbons, shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, and fresh herbs. They make a quick no-cook appetizer, snack, or light lunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large cucumber
- 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives, for garnish
- Fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and dry the cucumber well.
- Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer to slice the cucumber into 6 or 7 long, thin strips.
- Pat the cucumber strips dry with paper towels to remove extra moisture.
- Arrange the cucumber strips side by side on a cutting board, slightly overlapping the edges.
- Spread the mayonnaise evenly across the cucumber strips.
- Arrange the shredded chicken diagonally across the mayonnaise-covered cucumber.
- Add the buffalo sauce, diced celery, and diced red onion over the chicken.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Roll the cucumber strips tightly around the filling.
- Secure the rolls with toothpicks to help them hold their shape.
- Arrange the rolls on a plate.
- Garnish with fresh chives and dill before serving.
Notes
- Choose firm cucumbers with no soft spots so the rolls hold their shape.
- Use precooked shredded chicken, rotisserie chicken, leftover grilled chicken, canned chicken, or batch-cooked chicken to save time.
- Roll the cucumber strips tightly without tearing them.
- Chill the rolls for 30 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
- Use toothpicks if the rolls need help staying closed, then remove them before serving if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours with paper towels to absorb moisture.
