Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza

Oh my goodness. I was so happy with these Buffalo chicken flatbread pizzas. Fantastic flavors all around, from the spicy chicken to the tangy cheese to the creamy Ranch and fresh cilantro. All served on low-carb flatbread pizza crusts that take only a few minutes to bake. It really doesn’t get any easier than these pizzas. And it really doesn’t get any more flavorful.

Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza

One Great Pizza

Thin flatbread pizza crusts are quickly becoming a staple in our home. They help make a Buffalo chicken flatbread pizza great. I keep homemade pizza sauce on hand in the freezer, so I can whip together a quick dinner by just adding some cooked sausage or chicken or whatever I have on hand. They’re also a great way to use up leftovers, from tomato slices to turkey.

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.

You can leave off the blue cheese crumbles and Ranch dressing and instead drizzle these pizzas with blue cheese salad dressing.

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

I have been on a Buffalo chicken kick lately. I love anything with Buffalo sauce on it. Well, man cannot live on Buffalo chicken alone, or so I am told. So, Buffalo cauliflower bites to the rescue! Yep, that same great Buffalo flavor and cool Ranch dressing for dipping, all in a healthy bite.

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

I Like A Little Char…

I like to finish these Buffalo cauliflower bites off on the grill to get a little char on it, but that’s really not necessary. You can make the entire dish in the oven in no time at all. If you want that little char too just put them under the broiler for a few minutes. Give them a good stir and broil them a bit more to get that char on all sides.

Buffalo Chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

This week is Buffalo Chicken Week in our house. I often do ‘theme weeks’ for dinner. Like the other week when I smoked a few turkey breasts. That week we had a few different turkey sandwiches and smoked turkey Cobb salads. So this week we’ll be having something with Buffalo chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy in it every night. Now, don’t think we’ll be bored of Buffalo chicken by the end of the week either. I’ll make sure each dish is different, from Buffalo chicken flat-bread pizzas to grilled cheese sandwiches loaded with Buffalo chicken.

Buffalo Chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy

The Big Easy Does Chicken Right

Well, since it is Buffalo Chicken Week, I need Buffalo chicken. And plenty of it. And when I think chicken, I think of my Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less fryer. It really doesn’t get any easier for cooking poultry. For this Buffalo chicken all I had to do was marinate the chicken and drop it into the cooker. The meat was incredibly moist and tender (the Big Easy is great for that) with a nice Buffalo chicken flavor. So I shredded the meat and mixed in a few more splashes of Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce and I was ready for a week of great Buffalo chicken recipes.

The Big Easy is a great way to make a lot of chicken at once. I cooked 4 very large bone-in chicken breasts, and could’ve easily fit another 4 (if I’d bought more) onto the cooker.

Instructions

  • The night before cooking, place chicken breasts in a resealable container or baggie.
  • Add plenty of wing sauce. Make sure to coat the chicken completely.
  • Refrigerate at least 12 hours.
  • Fire up your Big Easy. Place the chicken into the basket (you’ll need a bunk bed basket to cook more at once) and lower into the Big Easy.
  • Cook until chicken reaches 165 F. If using a bunk bed the chicken on top may cook faster than the ones at the bottom. Cook time is typically 10 minutes per pound.
  • Let rest 30 minutes before chopping or shredding. You might want to add a few more shakes of wing sauce into the cut chicken for extra flavor.

Notes

This chicken is great on sandwich, salads, you name it!

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Oh my goodness. I made a batch of these slow cooker Buffalo chicken sliders and watched them disappear lickity-split. All of my favorite flavors in a single bite: chickeny Buffalo wing sauce, Ranch dressing, and cheese. This might just be the most perfect recipe for a crowd. It can’t get any easier, just toss all of the ingredients for the filling into the slow cooker and a few hours later, you’ve got crazy good sliders.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Feed A Crowd. Quickly.

I think you could make a little ‘slider bar’ for these slow cooker Buffalo chicken sliders. Let folks choose from blue cheese, gorgonzola, jalapenos, chopped celery, carrots, cilantro… you name it! Oh, and extra Ranch dressing too for those that are Ranch-aholics like myself. Half the time I think I make Buffalo-flavored dishes just so I have an excuse to have more Ranch dressing in my life.

Go Mild. Or Hot.

You can use a mild Buffalo sauce if you’re worried about too much heat. You can always serve a hotter sauce on the side for dipping the sandwiches. Just get a good grip on the slider buns first. You don’t want the yummy chicken sliding off into the sauce.

  • Pour wing sauce and dressing mix into a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Pour into a slow cooker set on low.
  • Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6 hours until fall-apart tender. If the chicken breasts are too large to be submerged in the sauce, flip them over halfway thru the cooking time.
  • Remove breasts to a cutting board and shred or chop as desired.
  • Return to the slow cooker and cook another 30 minutes.
  • Brown buns if desired.
  • Top buns with meat and cheese and place under broiler for just enough time to lightly melt the cheese.
  • Drizzle with a little salad dressing and serve.

Notes

I also added a teaspoon or so of the sauce from the slow cooker to the sandwiches.

Buffalo Potato Wedges

If you follow this blog, you know I love Buffalo chicken wings. And anything that reminds me of Buffalo chicken wings. Such as these Buffalo potato wedges. You can’t possibly find anything easier to make, and they taste just like Buffalo chicken wings.

Buffalo Potato Wedges

Buffalo Flavor In Every Bite

I baked the potato wedges, but you could deep fry them also. You could probably also get away with using pre-cooked baked fries. Just toss them in some sauce before serving. Instead of ketchup, serve your Buffalo potato wedges with Ranch for dipping. Or even blue cheese dressing. I don’t think I’d go so far as to add celery and carrot sticks, though.

  • Preheat your oven to 425 F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Clean each potato and dry well with a paper towel.
  • Cut potatoes into wedges (the smaller you cut them, the crispier they’ll get). Try to make them all about the same size so they cook in the same time.
  • Place wedges into a large bowl and drizzle with the oil. Toss to coat well.
  • Transfer potatoes to the baking sheet. Spread them out so they do not overlap or touch.
  • Bake potatoes for 30 minutes.
  • Flip each wedge over and bake another 20 minutes until nice and crunchy and golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, warm the wing sauce in a small sauce pan.
  • Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl and drizzle with the wing sauce. Toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately (or the potatoes will get soggy) with Ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

Of course you can use blue cheese dressing instead!

Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

I’ve had Buffalo wings on the brain lately. After making some boneless Buffalo ‘wings’ the other day, it occurred to me that the same technique would work great on chicken breasts, resulting in some fantastic Buffalo chicken sandwiches. And as a bonus, they aren’t that messy. Well, a bit maybe.

Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

A Little Heat… But It’s Just Right

These little delights came out moist and tender, with a lightly breaded exterior, just enough heat from the wing sauce, and a little cool-down thanks to some blue cheese salad dressing. They were perfect! Buffalo chicken sandwiches remind me a bit of Nashville hot chicken. But, unlike Nashville hot chicken, they are served up on a bun. Perfect for convenient single-handed devouring!

For the chicken

For the sandwiches

Instructions

  • Note: We like our chicken breasts thin, so I butterfly them and then cut them in half. If you don’t want your chicken thin, feel free to use entire breasts instead. You may have to pound them out so they have a consistent thickness. They may also take longer to cook than the time stated below.

For the chicken

  • Combine the flour, salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder and paprika in a pie plate or shallow bowl.
  • Whisk together the egg and milk in another pie plate or shallow bowl.
  • Working in batches, dip the chicken into the egg mixture, coating well.
  • Shake off excess egg mixture and then roll the chicken in the flour mixture, coating well.
  • Shake off excess flour mixture and return the chicken to the egg mixture, coating well.
  • Shake off excess egg mixture and return the chicken to the flour mixture, coating well.
  • Shake off excess flour mixture and place chicken on a plate and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven to 375 F.
  • Working in batches, fry chicken until golden brown and the chicken is done, 5-6 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.

For the sandwiches

  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in the wing sauce.
  • Dip chicken into wing sauce, coating both sides. Shake off excess.
  • Place chicken on buns. Top with lettuce and blue cheese dressing.

Notes

You can substitute Ranch dressing for the blue cheese.

Fire-Eater Chicken Mac-and-Cheese

I made a big ole batch of fire-eater chicken the other day. It has a really nice kick to it. Besides sandwiches and other great uses for the chicken, I made this insanely good fire-eater chicken mac-and-cheese. It’s based on a Buffalo chicken mac-and-cheese recipe, so you know that it’s great. And you don’t have to use fire-eater chicken, any roasted (or rotisserie) chicken will do, but I highly recommend the kicked-up flavor of the fire-eater version.

Fire-Eater Chicken Mac-and-Cheese

Creamy Crunchy Spiciness

This fire-eater chicken mac-and-cheese is creamy, like it should be. And crunchy, thanks to the celery and panko breadcrumbs. And it has a kick to it. Just like I like. We’ve all had the standard mac-and-cheese. It’s time to add some spice!

Boneless Buffalo Wings

Wow. These boneless Buffalo wings aren’t just sorta good. They’re crazy good. It’s embarrassing how many I devoured, so let’s just say I had more than two. The key to these is double-dredging them and letting the mixture set for 20 minutes before frying. The coating is fantastic. It’s light, not heavy, with just a little heat kick from the cayenne.

Boneless Buffalo Wings

Feeds A Crowd. A Happy Crowd.

I served these boneless Buffalo wings with a wing dipping sauce and your ‘usual’ Ranch dressing.

If I’m cooking for a crowd, I’ll break out my big deep fryer. But, if it’s just the two of us, I’ll fire up my Fry Daddy fryer. It’s the perfect size for both of us. It fries everything perfectly. And as an added bonus, it doesn’t use a lot of oil, which saves me money.

I get out my big deep fryer when it’s time to fry a large batch of food. It comes to temperature quickly and it maintains that temperature perfectly. It has a built-in oil filter and storage unit so I can re-use the oil several times.

Buffalo Hot Dogs

Wow, I was blown away by these Buffalo hot dogs. They’re crazy easy to make, but they have a little wing-like kick (thanks to plenty of Frank’s RedHot sauce) and the blue cheese absolutely go great with hot grilled all-beef hot dogs. Wing sauce on a hot dog is a great thing. Skip the ketchup.

Look Different. Taste Fantastic.

The celery and carrot topping added a nice crunch to these dogs. I have to admit, when I order or make chicken wings, I tend to skip the veggies. But, these dogs need them.

Buffalo Slaw

We absolutely loved this Buffalo slaw. It is no doubt one of our favorite non-traditional slaws. It is creamy, and smooth, thanks to mayo, sour cream and blue cheese crumbles. There’s a great celery crunch. There’s just a hint of Buffalo wing sauce flavor. Served cold, this slaw complements any meal, and especially, something hot off of the grill!

If you find that blue cheese is a bit too strong for you, you can substitute Gorgonzola cheese crumbles. This slaw is great with either. But it does need some tang, some funkiness. So don’t leave it out.

This slaw is great by itself. I also like it on top of a grilled chicken sandwich.

Buffalo Slaw

We absolutely loved this Buffalo slaw. It is no doubt one of our favorite non-traditional slaws. It is creamy, and smooth, thanks to mayo, sour cream and blue cheese crumbles.
