finger food ideas

Byoddfridays

For easy Costco finger foods, stock up on frozen items like Kirkland Tempura Shrimp, Bibigo Mini Wontons, Spanakopita, and mini quiches, plus refrigerated options like chicken meatballs, dips with pita chips, and Kirkland Shrimp Cocktail, which can be quickly heated or served for surprise guests. Pair them with simple dips or sauces for a versatile appetizer spread. 

Frozen Favorites (Quick Heat-Up)

  • Seafood: Kirkland Signature Tempura Shrimp, Royal Asia Coconut Shrimp, or Kirkland Garlic Butter Shrimp (great for air fryer/oven).
  • Meat/Poultry: Amylu Chicken Meatballs (cranberry/jalapeno or plain), Kirkland Chicken Breast Chunks, or even bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeños.
  • Vegetarian/Other: Bibigo Mini Wontons (chicken & cilantro), Cuisine Adventures Spanakopita (spinach & feta), Mini Quiches (florentine), or Puff Pastry Bites.
  • Fun Options: Mozzarella Sticks, Pretzilla Bites, or Veggie Spring Rolls. 

Refrigerated & Ready-to-Serve (Minimal Prep)

  • Dips: Kirkland Organic Roasted Pine Nut Hummus or spinach/artichoke dip (serve with pita chips/veggies).
  • Chicken: Kirkland Rotisserie Chicken (shred for quick sliders or dips), or Chicken Swiss Rollers.
  • Shrimp: Kirkland Shrimp Cocktail (comes with sauce/lemon).
  • Cheeses/Meats: Pimento Stuffed Olives, or charcuterie components. 

Pro-Tips for Hosting

  • Pair with Dipping Sauces: Keep marinara (for mozzarella sticks), sweet chili (for shrimp), soy ginger (for spring rolls), or blue cheese (for wings) handy.
  • Vary Textures: Mix crispy (shrimp, wontons) with creamy (dips, quiche) for a balanced spread.
  • Utilize Air Fryer: Many frozen items cook perfectly in an air fryer for maximum crispiness.
