Buffalo Chicken Strips With Blue Cheese Salad

Courtesy of Martha Stewart, delish Buffalo Chicken Strips with a Blue Cheese Salad. Check out the recipe below:
  • 45 minutes
  • Total Time45 minutes
  • YieldServes 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups (spooned and leveled) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 16 equal-size strips
  • 4 cups vegetable oil
  • Blue Cheese Salad

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in ketchup and hot sauce. Remove from heat; cover and reserve sauce.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 cup flour mixture evenly on a rimmed baking sheet; set aside. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and 2 teaspoons water.
  3. In small batches, dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip chicken in egg mixture to coat, shaking off excess. Dredge chicken in flour again. Place on floured sheet.
  4. In a large (5-quart) saucepan, heat oil to 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer (a pinch of flour should sizzle when dropped in the oil).
  5. Add half the chicken; cook until golden brown, 3 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Return oil to 350 degrees. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  6. Toss chicken strips with reserved sauce (reheated if necessary) to coat. Serve with Blue Cheese Salad.

Cook’s Note

A deep-fry thermometer is the best way to monitor the temperature of the oil. Adjust burner heat during cooking to maintain a steady temperature.

Enjoy!xo

All-American Buffalo Chicken Tenders

Considering Super Bowl is 2 days away I suppose I should post something that has to do with the big game (even though I care more about eating than the actual game). Courtesy of Martha Stewarts game day recipes, here is her All American Buffalo Chicken Tenders. Check out the recipe below:

  • Prep Time25 minutes
  • Total Time25 minutes
  • YieldServes 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup crumbled blue cheese (about 4 ounces)
  • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil, such as safflower
  • 1/3 cup hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet, and transfer to oven. In a medium bowl, stir together blue cheese and 1/2 cup buttermilk. Season dip with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  2. Place flour and remaining 1/2 cup buttermilk in separate medium bowls; season with salt and pepper. Set out another rimmed baking sheet alongside. Dip chicken in buttermilk (allowing excess to drip off), then in flour (shaking off excess); place on sheet.
  3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Working in batches, fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to rack in oven to keep warm.
  4. In a large bowl, stir together hot sauce and melted butter. Add chicken, and toss to coat. Serve tenders with blue-cheese dip.

Cook’s Note

To keep mess to a minimum, use one hand to dip chicken in buttermilk and place in flour; with the other hand, toss, pick up, and place on sheet.

Enjoy! xo
