Variations to Chicken Cheese ball
With most cheeseball recipes it is kind of cut and dry. There aren’t too many ways to change it up. If you want to change this recipe you can:
- Add Heat: You can dice jalapeno peppers to add in. You can also add hot cause.
- Flavored Chicken: I have seen these chicken cans come with flavor. Sometimes they are sold in a packet instead of a can. Things like lemon chicken or BBQ chicken. You can use these flavored chickens to add a different taste.
