Buffalo Wing Saltines

Making a big ole batch of Fire-Eater saltines inspired me to make even more varieties of flavor-infused crackers. This is a fantastic way to take plain ole kinda boring crackers and turn them into something special. Of course, my next choice was Buffalo wing saltines since I eat anything Buffalo-ish. These incredibly easy-to-make snacks are just what you’d expect: crunchy and packed with flavor. They bring that great traditional Buffalo wing flavor.

Very Addicting Buffalo Treats

Serve Buffalo wing saltines with softened cream cheese to help ‘cool’ the kick if you desire. I just eat them by the handful straight out of the bag.

I found Buffalo wing seasoning at our local GFS store. You can also find it in your grocery store’s spice section.

Also try my lime pepper and Fire-eater saltines.

Buffalo Chicken Soup

Wow. I cannot not stop talking about this Buffalo chicken soup. It is my favorite soup. Perfect for the cool weather. It’s like eating (my favorite) Buffalo chicken wings, with celery and onion, and cheesy. Good, gooey, melted cheese.

It’ll Warm You To The Bone

I used some leftover fire-eater roasted chicken breast in this soup. The chicken has a nice kick to it, so the soup had a nice little kick to it too. If you use a pre-cooked chicken without any spice to it, you might want to add a bit of cayenne or hot sauce to the soup.

Buffalo chicken soup is even better the second day, if it lasts that long. Best served with my Buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwiches.

Ingredients

¼ cup unsalted butter
3 stalks celery diced
1 small sweet onion diced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup half-and-half
3 cups water
1 cube chicken bouillon
2 cups chicken cooked, cubed. I used some leftover fire-eater roasted chicken
¼ cup Frank’s RedHot Sauce
1 ½ cups extra-sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
kosher salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Note: I used leftover fire-eater chicken that has a nice kick to it. If you are using rotisserie or other ‘tame’ chicken you might want to add some hot sauce or cayenne to the soup for a little kick.
Place butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Once melted, add the celery and onion and cook until both are tender.
Stir in the flour and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Stir in the half-and-half and water.
Add the bouillon and stir to dissolve.
Add the chicken and wing sauce.
Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer.
Stir in the cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes

Rotisserie chicken is great in this soup.

Buffalo ABTs

I’m not sure when this idea hit me. I was probably sleeping, dreaming away… In my dream I dreamed of Buffalo wings. A big batch of tasty, hot Buffalo wings. And then, I started dreaming of ABTs (bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapenos)… tasty, cheesy… with just a little heat. Then POW! I woke up and thought Buffalo ABTs (also known as atomic buffalo turds)!

So I made them.

The Perfect Kick

And they were really, really good. So good that I made Buffalo ABTs several times in one week. Jalapenos lose a lot of their heat when slow cooked for an hour or two. They still have a little bite, but are more like a poblano than a hot pepper.

Use whatever heat level of Buffalo sauce you prefer. Me, I went with hot!

The stuffing for the Buffalo ABTs is fantastic, and also makes for a great dip for celery or chips. You can also chop up the entire ABT (jalapeno and all) and use in a grilled cheese sandwich.

Also tty my Hawaiian ABTs.

1-2 tablespoons Blue cheese crumbled
