Buffalo Chicken Cannoli
To make Buffalo Chicken Cannoli even easier, use leftover chicken or organic rotisserie chicken from the store.
Buffalo Chicken Cannoli
Ingredients
- For the chicken:
- 3 tablespoons bacon fat lard, or ghee
- 4 chicken leg quarters about 3 pounds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Redmond Real salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ¼ cup diced yellow onions
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup Buffalo wing–style hot sauce
- 1 cup chicken stock
- CONE:
- 1 cup freshly grated hard cheese
- Garnish:
- 4 tablespoons hot sauce
- 4 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles omit if dairy sensitive
- Celery Slices
Instructions
- To make the chicken: Heat the fat in a deep sauté pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper. Place chicken in the hot fat and sauté for about 8 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Add the diced onion to the pan. Add garlic to the pan. Cook on medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown. Add the hot sauce and broth, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 1½ hours or until chicken is almost falling off the bone. Remove the legs from the pan and allow them to cool until you can handle them. Shred the meat off the bone and set aside.
- To make the cannoli, preheat oven to 375 F. Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Grease with coconut oil spray. Place 3 TBS of cheese in a circle about 4 inches in diameter. Leave at least 2 inches in between each circle of cheese. Bake 4 to 5 minutes until they are golden brown. TIP: baking one at a time helps since they harden as they cool.
- To mold them into a cone, have a 1 melted cheese round close to you. Place a round shaped object (I used a 1 inch spice jar). Once you remove the cookie sheet from the oven, move quickly and form the cheese around the round object. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to cool. Once cool fill with filling.
- Place each cannoli on a serving plate, drizzle with 1 tablespoon hot sauce and blue cheese crumbles. Serve with celery.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“On May 4th, 2015 my wife challenged me to get healthy. I weighed in at a very unhealthy 288 lbs. I was pre diabetic, my blood work was terrible, I had stomach and intestinal issues and I was in constant general pain all throughout my entire body. I needed to make a change so my wife convinced me to start following a Ketogenic diet. No sugar, extremely low carbs (< 25 g per day), moderate protein and high fat. What was I thinking!!! This was going to be impossible. I loved sugar and bread. I love comfort foods and I LOVED pizza. They were all staples in my American diet, but I was desperate to feel better and I was willing to try anything.
It was a difficult first month. Sugar detox is no joke. But I started seeing results and I started feeling better. As time went on, I no longer craved sugars and carbs and I was rarely hungry. The pounds started to melt away and before long people started to notice.
Today marks my one year KETO anniversary and I feel GREAT!!! I am no longer pre-diabetic and all other health concerns have subsided. I have way more energy now, but I am most proud the fact that I have lost 96 lbs and I currently weigh 192!!! This is less then my HS weight.
Thanks Keri for you love and support on this journey. I love you. And thank you Maria Wojcik Emmerich for your guidance and advice (and amazing cookbooks).”

This is pure genius! Thank you for another wonderful recipe! I have nearly all of your books and you come up with the most amazing things.
I’d love to see a video of this. All the steps seem a little bit daunting!
What kind of hard cheese did you use for the shells?
Parmesan. But hard Gouda would be great!
Thank you for sharing that inspiring story!!! I just started my keto lifestyle change and have bought your latest cookbook. Made the chicken stir fry last night. Delicious!!
Thank you Kim!
I want so badly to twenty five lbs. Why Oh WHY do the keto pills cost so very? You are so lovely you make all this look so easy. I have your new cook book .If only some way to afford the pills.
Are you referring to KetoOS? That isn’t needed for weight loss!;)
Maria, do you have wing sauce recommendation? Also, the hot sauce link took me to your books.
