Buffalo Blue Sliders Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Toss with 2 tablespoons hot sauce and pepper; cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until tender., Remove chicken; discard cooking juices. In a small saucepan, combine butter, honey and remaining hot sauce; cook and stir over medium heat until blended. Shred chicken with 2 forks; stir into sauce and heat through. Serve on rolls with desired optional ingredients. Freeze option: Freeze cooled chicken mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Microwave, covered, on high in a microwave-safe dish until heated through, stirring occasionally; add water or broth if necessary.

Steps:

• Form the ground turkey or chicken into 2-ounce patties. Sprinkle both sides of each patty liberally with salt and pepper.
• Heat a grill, grill pan, or cast-iron skillet over high heat, adding the canola oil if applicable. Cook the patties for approximately 3 minutes, then flip and continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes for medium, or continue cooking to your desired doneness.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the wing sauce and honey to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir. Brush the wing glaze over both sides of the cooked patties.
• Build the burgers by placing each cooked patty on the bun bottoms. Top with celery leaves and crumbled blue cheese. Smear the top buns with the Blue Cheese Dressing and place on top of the other ingredients. Serve immediately.
• Using the tongs of a fork, mash together the blue cheese and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Stir in the buttermilk, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Steps:

• Add canola oil to a heavy bottomed pot with a tight fitting lid and put it over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken thighs, skin side up, fitting them in tightly. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and pour in 1/2 cup water. When it comes to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. When it is cool, shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones. (Reserve the meat from 2 thighs for Round 2 Recipe Chicken Tacos with Cucumber Salsa.)
• In a large bowl combine the sugar, vinegar, red pepper flakes and mix together. Shred half of the cabbage and add it to the bowl, then season with salt and pepper, to taste. (Reserve the remaining cabbage half for the Round 2 Recipe Chicken Tacos with Cucumber Salsa.) Toss to coat all of the cabbage, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, mustard, and hot sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the shredded chicken and toss to coat.
• Divide the shredded chicken evenly among each roll bottom. Top with some of the cabbage, cover with the roll top, and insert a toothpick to hold it all together. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
