BLAZING BBQ SAUCE OR MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except chicken breasts. Add chicken breasts to marinade mixture and marinate chicken breasts in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours before grilling.
• Preheat grill. Place chicken breasts on the grill and cook until chicken is opaque in center, flipping twice during cooking, about 15 minutes total.

CRISPY BREADED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Pound chicken breasts to ½ inch thick.
• Beat eggs and set aside. Mix flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
• In another dish, combine Panko, bread crumbs, and seasonings.
• Dip chicken in flour and shake off any excess.
• Dip in the egg mixture and then into the bread crumbs. Gently press the crumbs to adhere.
• Generously spray the chicken with cooking spray on each side and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake for 25-28 min or until the chicken reaches 165°F.

BLAZING BUFFALO BITES

Steps:

• Dice the chicken into small cubes, (about the size of your pinky nail). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat and coat the bottom with a little oil. Add the chicken and saute until cooked through. Put the cream cheese, blue cheese and buffalo sauce in a food processor and process until combined. Add the chicken and pulse to combine but still coarsely chopped.
• Lay out an even number of wonton wrappers (10 should be enough). Spoon 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture in the center of a wrapper and brush the edges with water. Cover with another wrapper and crimp the edges so they are tightly sealed. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Pour enough oil, about 1 1/2 inches, into a heavy-bottomed pot. Once the oil is hot add the wrappers, in batches if necessary, and fry until the outside is light and crispy. Remove to paper towels to drain. Arrange the bites on a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Serve with ranch dressing and enjoy.

BLAZING CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*. Lightly butter baking dish and put the rest of the butter in the chicken. Bake @ 350* for 35 minutes, turning the chicken over a few times. Remove from oven.
• Pour brandy over the chicken and light it. When it's burning brightly, put out the blaze with port. Return chicken to oven and bake 30 minutes longer. Remove chicken and keep warm.
• Put baking dish over medium heat and stir in flour, cooking about a minute to remove that raw flour taste. Add cream, stir, season to taste. Pour over chicken.
