Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (patted dry and diced into 2" pieces)
1/2 c cornstarch (or arrowroot powder for paleo)
2 tsp sea or kosher salt
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil for paleo)
1/2 c Frank's RedHot
1/2 c Texas Pete Original Hot Sauce (or your favorite hot sauce - see suggestions in post)
2 tbsp butter

Steps:

  • Combine the cornstarch, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • Add the chicken to the cornstarch mixture; toss until evenly coated.
  • Heat a 12" non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and heat until it shimmers. Add half the battered chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Sautee 5 minutes until the breading is lightly golden brown, flip the pieces, and sautee 5 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken using a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces, adding additional olive oil as needed.
  • Add the butter to the skillet and melt, scraping up browned bits as it cooks. Add the buffalo sauces to the melted butter and whisk until combined.
  • Add the cooked chicken to the buffalo sauce. Toss to coat all pieces in sauce, then cook an addition 3-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce slightly thickens. Serve immediately with blue cheese or ranch dipping sauce and sliced carrots and celery.

BUFFALO FRIED MOZZARELLA BITES

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 24 bites

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 pieces mozzarella string cheese
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Vegetable oil, for frying
Kosher salt
3/4 cup Louisiana hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
3 tablespoons salted butter
Splash apple cider vinegar
Splash Worcestershire sauce
1 cup ranch dressing
2 carrots, cut into sticks
2 ribs celery, cut into sticks

Steps:

  • For the mozzarella bites: Cut the mozzarella sticks into fourths, creating bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  • Add the flour to a shallow dish. Combine the eggs and milk in a second shallow dish. Combine the panko, Parmesan and parsley in a third shallow dish.
  • Bread the mozzarella by first rolling each piece in the flour, then dunking it in the egg/milk mixture, then placing it in the panko mixture. Use your hands to ensure the entire piece is coated in the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a sheet pan and repeat with the remaining mozzarella pieces. Transfer to the freezer to firm up, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add two inches of oil to a skillet. Heat to 375 degrees F.
  • For the buffalo sauce: Combine the hot sauce, butter, Worcestershire sauce and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the butter has melted and the sauce is hot, then remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Fry the mozzarella bites in batches until golden, between 45 seconds to 1 minute, being careful not to overcook. Carefully remove to drain on a paper towel and immediately sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Serve hot alongside a bowl of warm buffalo sauce, a bowl of ranch dressing and the carrot and celery sticks.

Blazen' Buffalo Chicken Bites image

I love buffalo chicken wings but sometimes they can be a bit messy to eat, so I decided to create a recipe that has all the flavor you love from the buffalo chicken wings but without the mess. I made these for the BCS National championship game but these are great for the super bowl or any sporting event party. I hope you enjoy...

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c finely chopped chicken, cooked
1 pinch salt and pepper to season chicken
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 c your favorite buffalo chicken sauce
1 8 oz block of cream cheese, soften to room temp
1 pkg dry ranch dressing mix (3 tbsp)
1/4 c green onions, chopped
1 large celery rib, finely chopped
2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
a little bit of flour to sprinkle on your counter top
1/2 c shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Next heat up your olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Dice up your chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Place in the pan and cook the chicken through but don't over cook it because it will cook more when it goes in the oven.
  • 2. Take the chicken off the stove top and place it in a bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken and mix and set aside.
  • 3. Finely chop up the celery rib and green onions.
  • 4. Throw those in your mixer with your cream cheese and ranch dressing mix and stir until it's all combined.
  • 5. Sprinkle some flour on your counter top and unfold your puff pastry sheet. You can use a small roller to flatten the seams out if you want but it isn't nessascary. Next get a round biscuit or cookie cutter and cut out the circles.
  • 6. Place them in a greased mini muffin pan.
  • 7. Next place 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the bottom and place the buffalo chicken on top. Drizzle chicken with extra sauce. Top with shreded parmesaen cheese. Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes.

Low-carb cauliflower Buffalo bites cook up fast in the air fryer, making them an easy snack or side dish. I serve them with a flavorful dip made with cottage cheese that's packed with protein compared to most dips. My teenagers happily eat their veggies with this recipe. -Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland

BUFFALO POPCORN CHICKEN BITES

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil, for frying
2 1/2 cups complete pancake mix, any brand, divided
1 1/4 cups water8 teaspoons hot sauce, divided (recommended: Tabasco)
1 1/4 pounds chicken tenders or chicken breast cut into small bite-sized pieces
1 cup store bought, good quality refrigerated blue cheese dressing (recommended: Marie's brand)
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper,
1/3 palm full
Cut celery sticks, store bought

Steps:

  • In a deep sided skillet heat 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat. If you wish to test the oil, add a 1-inch cube of bread to hot oil. If it turns deep golden brown in color in a count of 40, the oil is ready.
  • While the oil is heating make the batter. In a wide mixing bowl combine 2 cups of the pancake mix, 1 1/4 cups water and about 6 teaspoons hot sauce. (Use a regular teaspoon you would stir coffee with ¿ that's what I did. I don't, technically, have a set of actual measuring spoons.)
  • Place the remaining plain 1/2 cup pancake mix in another wide mixing bowl. Arrange the batter and the bowl of plain pancake mix near the cook top and the heating oil. Line a plate with a few sheets of paper towels and keep within reach.
  • Once the oil is heated and ready, toss the chicken pieces in 2 teaspoons of hot sauce then toss in the plain pancake mix, coat evenly and shake off excess. The plain dry pancake mix will help the batter stick to the chicken pieces. Add some of chicken to the batter, you are going to want to work in 3 to 4 batches coating and frying. Using a fork, toss the bites in the batter. Remove the first batch from the batter, shaking off the excess batter as you carefully add them to the hot oil. Fry for 2 minutes on the first side, or until the first side is a deep golden brown, flip and continue to fry for another 2 minutes or until deep golden brown all over. Remove from the oil and drain on the paper towel lined plate, season with salt. Repeat until all the popcorn chicken bites are fried. Serve immediately with refrigerated, good quality creamy blue cheese prepared dressing with chopped scallions and black pepper stirred into it for dipping. Garnish platter with celery sticks.
