The menu item is crafted with the brand's signature dough that is rolled with a [buffalo pizza sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunt-brothers-pizza-buffalo-chicken-pizza) along with chicken and cheese before being baked to perfection. The bites are then brushed with a garlic butter to give them a touch of additional flavor, and come served with your choice of either Buffalo or Ranch dipping sauce. The Cicis Buffalo Chicken Poppers are priced at $3.99 for 12 pieces, and will join the brand's existing appetizers including the [Jalapeño Poppers and Pepperoni Poppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-popper-pepper) that were launched last year.
