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

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.

Instructions

  • 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 Hot Dogs

If you want to keep the Buffalo wing theme going, just serve these dogs with some Buffalo slaw! Buffalo hot dogs prove that more ‘Buffalo’ is a good thing!

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 specially, something hot off of the grill! It’s also great heaped on top of something hot off of the grill!

Buffalo Slaw

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.
