You all know I can’t get through Ramadan without making my chicken patties and veggie patties. Towards the end of the month, when I’m out and need to make more, I can only get myself to make these buffalo chicken pinwheels. Truth be told, you can fill these with anything. Just the other day I made pinwheels with leftover keema samosa filling. If you have some potato cutlet mix that would also bake up perfectly in this.
The ingredients you use makes all the difference in these buffalo chicken pinwheels
I always get asked which brand of puff pastry I use, and without fail I always say Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. It’s slightly more expensive than other brands, but I have tried many other brands, and in my opinion, the flavor and rise you get from pepperidge farm is unmatched! As for the sauces, getting a good quality buffalo sauce will really enhance the flavor of the filling. Buffalo sauce is simply a mix of hot sauce and butter, so if you can’t find any, you can easily make your own!
