FAQS

  1. Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken tenderloins?

    Yes, rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves time. Just shred it before mixing with the other ingredients.

  2. Can I make these ahead of time?

    You can prepare the filling and assemble the bites ahead of time, but bake them just before serving for the best texture.

  3. What dipping sauces pair well with these bites?

    Ranch dressing or additional hot sauce are great options for dipping.

  4. Can I substitute bleu cheese crumbles?

    Yes, you can use feta or omit the bleu cheese if you prefer a milder flavor.

  5. Are these bites freezer-friendly?

    They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze them after baking and reheat in the oven.
