Appetizers Pizza

Buffalo Chicken Flatbread

buffflatbread1

Every year for New Year’s Eve, my friend Jill and I get together with our families over at her house. We make as many appetizers as we can possibly fit on a table, mix up some drinks and get comfy for the night. The kids play until way too late, and in turn, we stay up way past our bedtime too, but we all have the best time anyone can possibly have on New Year’s Eve.

I have been ringing in the New Year with her as long as I can remember. It wasn’t always comfy clothes and appetizers in the kitchen though. We had our days of parties and swankier nights at events in the city. We had a blast those days too, but something about the comfort of a home with food and friends, when you know of all the craziness going on around you because it is New Year’s Eve, is the most fun thing I can possibly think of.

Every year, we try to create new appetizers. There have been many amazing ones, and a few ones we said, never again, but it’s fun to try something new and different each time. This appetizer is one that I have already made for a few parties, but will surely be a hit at any event you bring it to. The flatbread is cracker thin, with a slight chew to it, the perfect crust for the tender, spicy chicken and the gooey melty cheese. Dipped in a homemade blue cheese sauce and paired with crunchy celery sticks? This could not be any better! Did I mention easy? It is pretty easy considering you are basically making a homemade crust. This is a no rise crust, so you won’t have to make it way ahead of time. Leftovers? This freezes great and heats up in a hot oven as if you were making it fresh for the first time.

Happy New Year to you and yours!
