# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and spicy without any guilt or carb counting anxiety.
  • The contrast between the cool, snappy celery and warm, tangy chicken mixture feels like a small flavor discovery every single bite.
02 -
  • The celery will soften if the filling sits too long, so assemble these just before serving unless you prefer a softer texture.
  • Taste your buffalo sauce first because brands vary wildly in heat and saltiness; you might need to dial back the seasoning depending on which one you grab.
03 -
  • If you don't have a piping bag, use a small spoon and your thumb to fill each celery piece quickly; it takes practice but feels oddly satisfying.
  • Buy celery with thick, pale stalks from the heart of the bunch because they have bigger hollows and less bitter flavor than the dark outer stalks.
