How To Make The Keto Buffalo Chicken Chaffle?

Follow these steps to make these buffalo chicken chaffles:

In a large bowl, toss together the shredded chicken, green onions, buffalo hot sauce, almond flour, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, eggs, and black pepper.

Heat up your mini waffle maker and grease it with cooking spray, butter, or coconut oil.

Spread some cheddar cheese on the bottom of the waffle maker. Then, scoop about 3 tbsp of the chicken mixture on top of the cheese layer. Sprinkle some more cheese over the batter.

Shut the waffle maker and cook for about 5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Do not open the waffle maker too soon or the chaffle may stick or break apart.

Gently lift the chaffle from the waffle maker and let it cool slightly on a wire rack or a plate.

Repeat with the remaining batter until you have four mini chaffles or one large Belgian style chaffle.

Serve with your favorite ranch or blue cheese dressing and enjoy!

Tips and Variations

Here are some tips and variations to make these buffalo chicken chaffles even better:

You can use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken from dinner to make these chaffles. Just make sure to shred it well and dry it with a paper towel before adding it to the batter.
You can also try different types of cheese instead of parmesan and cheddar, such as mozzarella, Monterey jack, or blue cheese. Just keep the same amount of cheese in the batter.
You can spice up the batter with some garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or parsley for more flavor.
You can top or fill the chaffles with different sauces or ingredients, such as sour cream, chives, bacon bits, avocado slices, or lettuce leaves.
You can make different shapes or sizes of chaffles using different waffle makers or molds.
