Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Jalapenos
Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Jalapenos are full of creamy, cheesy Buffalo chicken mixture. These stuffed jalapenos really pack the heat. They are perfect for gameday and only take 6 to 9 minutes to air fry. So easy!

Ingredients
- Jalapenos- look for wide, medium-sized jalapenos that are roughly the same size. The skinny ones are hard to stuff.
- Cream Cheese– softened.
- Buffalo Wing Sauce– I use Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce. Be sure to use the Buffalo Wing Sauce and not the hot sauce.
- Blue Cheese Dressing– gets mixed into the filling for a little extra creaminess and flavor.
- Garlic Powder
- Finely Diced Cooked Chicken– I use rotisserie chicken.
- Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese– Colby Jack can be used instead.
- Green Onion

How To Make Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Jalapenos
- Prepare Jalapenos– cut in half and remove the seeds.
- Make Filling. Use a hand-held electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, Buffalo Wing Sauce, Blue Cheese Dressing, and garlic powder until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients.
- Assemble. Fill the jalapenos with the buffalo chicken mixture.
- Air Fry. Air fry at 370 for 6 to 9 minutes.
- Serve– serve with extra blue cheese for dipping.

Recipe Tips
- Look for medium-sized jalapenos that are wide instead of narrow.
- This recipe can vary a great deal in heat based on how hot the jalapenos are.
- Do not crowd the air fryer basket. Air fry in batches if necessary.
Variations
- For a milder version, use mini sweet peppers instead of jalapenos.
- Add some cooked, crumbled bacon for a little smoky flavor.

Make Ahead
These jalapenos can be totally prepped ahead of time. Cut the jalapenos, make the filling, stuff the jalapenos, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to air fry them.
Storage
Leftovers will keep for 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Try chopping them up and using them as an omelet filling or toss with some pasta.
