# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They taste indulgent and spicy while keeping carbs practically invisible, which means guilt-free snacking without the usual keto blandness.
  • Prep takes less time than it takes to reheat leftovers, yet they feel fancy enough to serve when people drop by unexpectedly.
  • The contrast between crisp celery, creamy chicken, and tangy cheese creates a textural experience that keeps you reaching for more.
02 -
  • Overstuffing is better than underfilling—people want to taste the buffalo chicken, not wonder if there's anything inside the celery.
  • Fill these as close to serving time as possible because celery begins to weep slightly and lose its snap once it's filled, which completely changes the eating experience.
03 -
  • If your buffalo sauce is thicker than you'd like, whisk in a teaspoon of water to loosen it slightly so it distributes through the chicken more evenly.
  • For extra heat without extra salt, add a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling mixture and let it sit for five minutes so the heat builds gradually.
