# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Spicy, tangy, and crispy all at once without any of the guilt or carbs.
  • Takes less time than ordering takeout but looks like you actually tried.
  • The crunch of fresh celery against creamy buffalo chicken is honestly addictive.
02 -
  • Don't assemble these more than a few hours ahead or the celery starts weeping and loses its snap, which defeats half the appeal.
  • If your buffalo sauce tastes too vinegary, cut it with an extra tablespoon of mayo because heat without balance can overshadow everything else.
03 -
  • Use a piping bag with a wide tip if you have one; it makes filling cleaner and looks intentional instead of rough.
  • Keeping your celery in ice water for thirty minutes before serving makes them extra crisp and firm for filling.
