The chicken is then baked until crispy and tossed in a buffalo sauce made with Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and honey.

BUFFALO POPPERS - FROM SEMI-HOMEMADE W/ SANDRA LEE
These looked so yummy on her show. I love they used honey instead of butter for a more healthful version of a classic. Note --- These are SUPER hot! I love spicy food and they were a bit spicy for me. Cut down the hot sauce/add extra honey if you're looking for a more "mild" flavor. :)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice the chicken tenders into cubes. Place the coating mix into a large bowl and add cubed chicken. Toss so that all of the chicken is evenly coated. Place the coated chicken onto a sheet pan and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
- Three minutes before the chicken comes out of the oven, combine hot sauce and honey in a large bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the hot sauce and mix to ensure all the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce. Place on a platter with a small bowl of ranch and/or blue cheese dressing.
JALAPENO PEPPER POPPERS
Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium heat.
- Cut about 1/2-inch off the top each jalapeno pepper. Take the top pieces that you just cut off, cut the sides off and reserve, discarding the middle stem pieces. These will be used to plug the open end of each pepper to help keep the cheese from melting out. Using a straight peeler, scrape out the seeds and ribs from the inside of each of the peppers.
- Slice each cheese stick into pieces that are just slightly shorter than the jalapenos. Stuff a pepper with a piece of cheese. Take the reserved side pieces and place them into the open end of the pepper, covering the cheese and plugging the hole. Take a piece of bacon and wrap the pepper from the bottom end to the top end, making sure to secure the "plug" at the top end. Take a second piece of bacon and lay it down on a clean work surface. Roll up the pepper so that it is almost completely covered in bacon and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining peppers, cheese, bacon and toothpicks. Sprinkle each with chili powder.
- Place on the grill, cover and cook over indirect heat until the bacon is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes, making sure to turn every 3 to 4 minutes.
- While the poppers are grilling, combine the sour cream, cream cheese and honey in a small bowl. Mix until well blended and serve with the poppers.
- Cook's Note: The poppers can also be made in the oven. Place the poppers onto a baking sheet fitted with a rack that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake in a 400 F degree oven until the bacon is brown and crispy, 15 minutes.
