Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Cups

Super Bowl Sunday is just over a week away and while I may not be much of a football fan, I am a fan of football parties and anything covered in buffalo sauce. I’m a huge sucker for wings (this is super surprising to most people who know me) and while I indulge in them a couple times a year I usually opt for something a little healthier. These buffalo chicken lettuce cups are the perfect substitute and my new favorite way to enjoy buffalo sauce. Bonus: they have a fraction of the amount of calories that buffalo wings do (so you can enjoy that extra beer!)
These lettuce cups are the perfect snack for Super Bowl Sunday, if you’re having a party just prep everything ahead of time and let your guests make their own. This one is just as much for the guys as it is the girls. Its a sure win for everyone!
