Buffalo Chicken Celery Sticks Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken in a 3-quart crockpot. Season with salt & pepper. Top with ½ cup hot sauce. Cook on LOW for 4 hours (6 hours if frozen).
• Mix ranch mix, mayo, sour cream and milk in a pint size mason jar. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
• Once chicken is cooked, remove it to a bowl and shred. Add remaining ½ cup hot sauce and mix to incorporate. (Add more or less to achieve desired spice level.) Allow to cool.
• Remove celery stalks from the bunch and rinse well. Cut into 4″ pieces and lay on a platter.
• Stuff celery with buffalo chicken mixture. Drizzle with ¼ cup ranch dressing (stored in mason jar), more hot sauce and dried parsley. Serve immediately or chill for up to 4 hours.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix butter, pepper sauce, honey, celery seed and salt. Remove 2 tablespoons sauce mixture; set aside. Add chicken to remaining sauce mixture; stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, soak ten 10- to 12-inch wooden skewers in water 30 minutes.
• Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Thread each chicken tender on a skewer.
• Cover and grill chicken over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning once and brushing frequently with reserved sauce mixture, until no longer pink in center. Discard any remaining sauce mixture. Serve chicken with blue cheese dressing.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix 2 ounces each of blue cheese and cream cheese until smooth. With a small spoon or knife, stuff 6 large celery stalks, rinsed and dried, with cheese mixture.
• Crumble another 2 ounces blue cheese on top, and sprinkle lightly with cayenne pepper. Cut stalks in half, if desired.
