Buffalo Chicken and Rice Bites
*This post is sponsored by Mahatma Rice
Happy Monday, I hope you had a great weekend! I enjoyed mine as I was able to spend a little time experimenting in the kitchen. I had fun creating some appetizers for some upcoming Spring parties. My plan was to come up with something simple to make that was also easy to transport and not too messy to eat! Hmmm...One of my kid's favorite appetizers is buffalo wings. I love them too, but they certainly did not fit the "not too messy to eat" requirement that I was trying to achieve. So, I started to peruse my pantry and think how I could make something with that flavor that could be enjoyed without making a mess. I came across the Mahatma Organic White Rice and that sparked an idea for this recipe: Buffalo Chicken and Rice Bites. They were a hit with the entire family and were also very easy to make. The added bonus was the Buffalo Chicken and Rice Bites were tidy little treats to eat, no extra napkins necessary!

I love cooking with rice, but I have to admit this is the first time I made an appetizer using it! I was not sure how it would turn out, but it was the perfect ingredient for my new recipe. I have been a huge fan of Mahatma Rice for years. I really enjoy cooking with all of the varieties of this brand of rice.
