Buffalo Chicken Thighs
All this talk from Patti got me thinking that I had a great recipe for Buffalo chicken to so thought I would share it.
Buffalo Chicken Thighs
Prep: 20 mins
Broil: 25 mins
Makes: 6 servings
12 chicken thighs ( save your sanity and get boneless )
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons bottled hot pepper sauce
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 recipe Blue Cheese Dip
1. If desired, skin chicken. In a small bowl stir together butter, hot pepper sauce, paprika, salt and cayenne pepper. Brush over both sides of the chicken thighs.
2. Preheat broiler. Arrange chicken on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 12 mins. Turn chicken. Broil for 13 to 15 mins more or until chicken is no longer pink. Serve with Blue Cheese Dip.
Blue Cheese Dip: In a blender container or food processor bowl combine 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 crumbled blue cheese, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, and 1 clove of garlic, minced. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Cover and chill for up to 1 week. If desired, top with additional crumbled blue cheese before serving.

My Twist:
ACK was super hot for me. I like them warm and not lip burning so I did not add as much hot pepper sauce. But I did add in some ground ginger and replaced 1 tablespoon of the hot pepper sauce with soy sauce. WAS YUM!!!
Oh you can change them a bunch of ways!! Just take out what ever is to hot and replace with something else lol. I replaced most of the hot pepper sauce with soy sauce. You can also replace the cayenne with ground ginger for the Asian style flavor. Just mix it up and give it a whirl.
