Do these come out crunchy or chewy? Or a combo of both?
They are more chewy than crunchy. Just a little crunchy along the edges where they brown.

Oh NO! You must get the right thing. :) It is usually near the bbq and other condiments – http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0005YWN88/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0005YWN88&linkCode=as2&tag=onamomo-20
We are not a huge fan of buffalo wings or bleu cheese, any suggestions for subs? I love the idea of the quinoa & chix mixed together like this!
Patty – This recipe is very similar – minus the buffalo and bleu cheese. You can certainly add chicken to this recipe as well! http://onceamonthmom.com/baked-quinoa-snack-bites/
