The perfect football-party food, classic jalapeño poppers get a crispy upgrade in an air fryer. Cream cheese tempers the just-right hint of heat from the pepper and Buffalo sauce. To save time, you can stuff the peppers ahead of the party and fry them just before serving.

Haven't tried this yet but I plan to. I do not currently own an air fryer so can I use the oven instead? Thanks!

These poppers are outstanding! I didn’t have chicken but the recipe was delicious without it. Easy to make and ready in no time. I plan to make these a lot.
