Dive into another delicious fat bomb keto appetizer with these buffalo chicken jalapeno poppers. Store-bought boxed jalapeno poppers are loaded with carbs and clearly not keto-friendly so this recipe provides a great keto alternative.
Creamy cheesy buffalo chicken is stuffed into a jalapeno and then is wrapped in a piece of bacon. Before assembling the poppers you’ll want to precook the bacon until it’s slightly crispy but not fully cooked. It will finish cooking in the oven and before you know it you’ll have an exciting platter to share on the 4th of July party.
