Description
A comforting mash-up of Buffalo chicken and cornbread, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine your shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions. Mix until everything is coated and combined.
- Spread the Filling: Grease a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the buffalo chicken mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Make the Cornbread Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, oil, and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Assemble the Pie: Carefully pour the cornbread batter over the buffalo chicken filling and spread it out evenly.
- Bake: Pop the pie in the oven for about 35–40 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let it sit for about 10 minutes after baking before serving.
Notes
Serve with extra green onions or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. A dollop of sour cream or ranch dressing complements this dish perfectly.
