Birds in a Blanket Recipe


This fancy appetizer was inspired by the Jeanette Walls’ neighbor, who was a lady of the night.

Inspired by The Glass Castle:  A Memoir

Prep time:  10 minutes    Makes:  12 rolls

Birds in a Blanket

Ingredients

  • 1 rotisserie chicken
  • 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
  • 12 slices of white bread
  • 1 cup of crushed potato chips
  • Processed cheese from a can dispenser

Instructions

  1. Remove meat from rotisserie chicken and chop into very small pieces.  Place in large bowl.
  2. Mix mayonnaise with chopped chicken.  Set aside.
  3. Remove crust from bread slices.  Spread about a tablespoon of chicken mixture on half of each bread slice and sprinkle crushed potato chips on the other side.
  4. Roll each slice up and dispense a line of cheese down the length of the bread roll. 

For appetizers, slice each bread roll into four separate sections and dispense cheese on top of each section.

  1. This recipe is not the way it was made in the book. It says “cheese Whiz.”
    Makes a difference. I just read the book.

  2. Kay.Oss- Yes, that is true. Here is the recipe for anybody else that may want to make it like it is in the book: “Ginnie Sue scraped the meat into a bowl, mixed it with mayonnaise and Cheese Whiz, then crushed a handful of potato chips and added them. She spread the mixture onto two slices of Wonder bread, then rolled each slice into a cylinder and passed them to us.”

    We just thought they looked more fun the way we made them.
