Buffalo Chicken Thighs With Celery And Blue Cheese Salad Recipes

BUFFALO CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a cast iron skillet. Meanwhile pat your chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and lightly season both sides with kosher salt and pepper. When the oil is hot (but not smoking) place the chicken thighs in the skillet, skin side down (this is important). Cover with a splatter screen. (I usually turn the heat down to a strong medium here, but keep an eye on it, and keep rotating the pan so the chicken thighs get browned evenly.) Check after a few minutes to make sure they are not getting too dark, and if so, turn down your heat. They should get a nice golden brown after 8 minutes or so.
• Leave the chicken thighs skin side down and transfer to the oven on a middle rack. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the thighs and continue cooking another 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, melt butter with minced garlic in a small saucepan, cooking over medium-low heat until garlic is softened - 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the hot sauce and smoked paprika till smooth and set aside.
• Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and place on paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Whisk the buffalo sauce one more time and spoon over each chicken thigh till coated. Enjoy warm!

BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS WITH CELERY-BLUE CHEESE SLAW

Steps:

• To a medium-sized, straight-sided pan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Once melted, add the buffalo sauce, garlic powder and onion powder and whisk to incorporate. Bring the mixture up to a simmer and stir in the shredded chicken. Turn the heat down to low and let simmer until the chicken is heated through and evenly coated in the sauce, about 5 minutes.
• To assemble: Lay the Hawaiian slider rolls on a clean work surface, cut side-up. Using tongs, transfer the buffalo chicken to the bottom half of the rolls. Top each with celery slaw. Spoon the remaining buffalo sauce on the cut-side of the top buns. Place the top half on and skewer each slider.
• Add all of the ingredients to a medium sized bowl and toss to combine. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

GRILLED BUFFALO CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BLUE CHEESE SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for indirect cooking over medium-high-heat (350 to 400 degrees F).
• Combine the buttermilk, blue cheese, vinegar and Worcestershire in a medium bowl; add the carrots and celery and toss thoroughly. Allow to sit at room temperature while you cook the chicken.
• Combine the hot sauce and butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil; cook until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grill the chicken, meaty-side up, and cook until the underside is well-marked and readily releases from the surface, about 15 minutes. Turn and cook until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat (not touching bone) registers 165 degrees F, about 15 more minutes. Brush liberally with the sauce, then turn the chicken and brush the tops with more sauce. Grill 1 more minute. Serve with the slaw.

BUFFALO CHICKEN & BLUE CHEESE SLAW

Steps:

• Mix together the hot sauce, paprika, sugar, vinegar, garlic powder and butter in a pan. Stir over a low heat until the butter has melted, then simmer for 1 min. Season. Tip away any excess juices and fat from the roasting tin, then pour in half the sauce. Return to the oven for 20 mins until cooked through. Turn the oven to the highest temperature and add the remaining sauce. Cook for 5 mins.
• Crumble the cheese into a bowl and mix through the soured cream, mayo, chives and lemon juice. Toss the apple with the celery, cabbage and the cheese sauce. Serve the chicken alongside the slaw.
