Buffalo Chicken Puff Pastry Pockets

Be the hit of any party with these super delicious Buffalo Chicken Puff Pastry Pockets. Easy and pretty impressive.

It’s been a hot week here in Calgary and I’m glad to see it’s finally cooling down just a bit. I never would have thought that I would complain so much about how hot it is, me who loves summer and hates winter. Oh how I long for a cold winter day now. Why is it that we always want what we don’t have? I just remind myself that it could be worse, there could be humidity.

So since it cooled down a bit, just a bit a couple degrees or so, I decided to turn the oven on and make these buffalo chicken pastries. I was craving the flavor of buffalo chicken so these puff pastries sounded like a great idea. Working with puff pastry is very easy and I have done many such recipes using it. Puff pastry is great for desserts and savory pastries.

Puff pastry is very versatile. I love it because it’s so light and flaky. Many times I’ve thought about making my own, but then why bother when you can buy it. But I think once I will be brave enough and try. I don’t think it’d be much different than the croissants I made.

Anyway like I said I have many recipes with puff pastry here at JoCooks, so check them out if you like working with puff pastry as much as I do.

What’s your favorite puff pastry snack? These buffalo chicken pastries are really great. I hope you try them and let me know how you like them. 🙂
