# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and spicy while keeping you solidly in ketosis without any sneaky carbs.
  • The whole thing comes together in under thirty minutes, making it perfect for last-minute entertaining or when hunger strikes unexpectedly.
  • Blue cheese and buffalo is a flavor combination that just works, and celery gives you something crisp and satisfying to bite into.
02 -
  • Don't assemble these more than a couple hours ahead or the celery starts releasing water and gets soft, which defeats the whole purpose of using it as a vessel.
  • The quality of your buffalo sauce matters more than you'd think, so taste it first and make sure you actually like it, because it's the dominant flavor here.
03 -
  • Use a piping bag if you have one, because it makes assembly feel more intentional and you waste less filling on your fingers and the counter.
  • Keep a small spoon handy for tasting the chicken mixture as you season it, because adjusting it before assembly is way easier than fixing it after.
