BUFFALO CHICKEN NACHOS

Steps:

• Buffalo Sauce: Combine 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 minced jalapeno and 1 tablespoon minced garlic in a saute pan over medium heat; let the butter melt, then cook 2 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup hot sauce (such as Frank¿s RedHot), 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/2 tablespoon each lime juice and white vinegar; bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
• Spicy Chicken: Combine 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon each cayenne, celery salt and kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts into thick strips; toss with 1/4 cup of the Buffalo sauce and arrange on a rack set on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the paprika mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
• Pita Chips: Heat 4 inches canola oil to 350 degrees F in a large pot. Cut 8 pitas into wedges. Fry in batches until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels; season with salt.
• Blue Cheese Topping: Melt 1/2 cup crumbled smoked blue cheese with 1/2 cup milk in a saucepan over medium heat; transfer to a bowl. Add 1/4 cup more blue cheese and 1/4 cup each sour cream and mayonnaise; stir in 2 tablespoons chopped chives and season with salt and pepper.
• Make the Buffalo sauce, spicy chicken, pita chips and blue cheese topping (see above).
• Spread half of the pita chips in a large baking dish. Top with half of the chicken, Buffalo sauce and blue cheese topping; sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella. Repeat with another layer of pita chips, chicken, Buffalo sauce and blue cheese topping; sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups mozzarella.

BUFFALO CHICKEN POTATO SKIN NACHOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Pierce all over with a fork. Rub with 1 tablespoon canola oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Bake the potatoes for 60-70 minutes, until they are soft enough to gently squeeze with an oven mitt. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let sit for 15-20 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving a ⅛-inch-thick border of potato flesh around the edges. Cut each piece in half again lengthwise and once more crosswise to create 2-inch-long triangles.
• Arrange the potato triangles skin-side-up in a single layer on the baking sheet and brush with the melted butter. Flip skin-side-down and brush the insides with melted butter, then season with salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the insides are golden brown. Flip the potatoes skin-side-up again and bake for 8-10 minutes more, until the skins are crispy.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the buffalo sauce and butter. Microwave for 30-60 seconds, until the butter is melted. Whisk well to combine. Add the cayenne and white vinegar and whisk to combine.
• Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and the garlic powder.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and cook without moving until browned, 4-5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until browned on the other side. Pour in the chicken broth, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes more, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
• Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl and shred with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed, 1-2 minutes. (Alternatively, use 2 forks to shred the chicken.) Add the buffalo sauce and ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese and mix to combine.
• Make the pico de gallo: In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper, and lime juice and stir to combine.
• Set the broiler to high.
• Arrange the potato wedges around the edges and over the bottom of an 8-inch cast-iron skillet. Top with the buffalo chicken and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese on top.
• Broil the nachos for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
• Top the nachos with guacamole, the pico de gallo, blue cheese dressing, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

ULTIMATE BUFFALO CHICKEN NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven per waffle fry package directions.
• Arrange waffle fries in single layer on a foil-covered baking sheet and cook according to package directions.
• While fries cook, shred chicken with fingers or a fork; set aside.
• Heat buffalo wing sauce with butter until the butter melts. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Let sit.
• Chop scallions and grate the cheeses; set aside.
• Once the fries are done, pile on the chicken and cheeses.
• Turn the oven to broil and place the baking pan into the broiler. (My broiler was too small for my baking sheet, so I transferred the fries to a small pizza pan before broiling.).
• Let cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
• Remove, sprinkle with scallions and eat once cool enough to touch!
• *Servings vary: This could feed anywhere from 4-7 people as a party app, or two very hungry people for a dinner where calories don't matter!
