CHICKEN NACHOS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the chicken, vegetable oil, and cayenne pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes, or longer if desired.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture, and fry until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spread a thin layer of tortilla chips in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1/4 of the chicken, 1/4 of the chilies, and 1/4 of the cheese over the chips. Repeat layers ending with cheese on the top.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through. Serve with your favorite nacho toppings.

SMOKED CHICKEN HOT WINGS

Steps:

• Heat a smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) according to manufacturer's directions.
• Mix 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl to make dry rub. Sprinkle over chicken wings.
• Cook chicken wings in the preheated smoker until tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hour.
• Combine hot pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until butter is melted and sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Transfer smoked wings to a large bowl; stir in 1/2 of the sauce until wings are evenly coated.
• Grill coated wings until skin is browned and starting to get crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in remaining sauce until wings are well-coated.

CHICKEN CAKES

Steps:

• Mix bread crumbs, crushed potato chips, pepper, dill, salt, and garlic together in a large bowl. Mix in chicken, ranch dressing, tartar sauce, 1/4 cup hot sauce, and green onions. Form mixture into 2-inch or 3-inch balls; press down into patties.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place patties in a single layer in the hot oil; cook until dark golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining patties.
• Whisk honey and 2 tablespoons hot sauce together to make dipping sauce. Serve dipping sauce with patties.

SMOKY CHICKEN CORN CAKES

Steps:

• Using a fork or your fingers, shred the chicken meat, discarding the skin and bones. In a medium bowl, combine the meat, chipotle, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, the onion, tomatoes, and cilantro; set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, pepper, and the remaining salt. Stir in the eggs and ricotta until no lumps remain. Fold in the corn.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. For each corn cake, spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet and cook until golden brown and set on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the cakes and cook 1 minute more.
• Divide the cakes among individual plates and top with the chicken mixture. Serve with sour cream, if desired.
