BUFFALO CHICKEN LETTUCE CUPS

Steps:

• Place the lettuce leaves on a serving platter and arrange the celery, blue cheese and parsley in small individual serving bowls and set aside.
• Toss the ground chicken or turkey with the hot sauce, thyme, chile flakes and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, or to taste, until combined in a medium bowl; set aside.
• In a small skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat. When the butter is almost melted, add the onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes, then stir in the garlic. Cook until the onion is golden and tender, then stir in the ground chicken mixture. Cook until browned all over, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Spoon into a serving bowl and serve with the platter of lettuce leaves, bowls of garnish and the Pickled Red Onion Vinaigrette.
• Place the vinegar, sugar, 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil; stir in the red onions and let simmer for 5 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
• Drain the onions, reserving the pickling liquid. Put the onions in a blender with the olive oil, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, and blend on high while slowly drizzling in just enough of the reserved pickled liquid until emulsified and at a pourable consistency (you will not use all the liquid). Makes about 2 cups. Can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

BUFFALO CHICKEN CUPS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray muffin tin very lightly with kitchen spritzer. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Ranch dressing, wing sauce and 3/4 cheddar cheese (save remaining 1/4 cup for topping). You can soften the mixture slightly in the microwave if needed to make it come together. Stir in shredded chicken. Start layering your cups. Begin with a wonton wrapper and press it into the bottom of each muffin tin. Spoon about a tablespoon of the chicken mixture. Top with another wonton wrapper and add another tablespoon of chicken mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese and a little blue cheese. Bake for 18 minutes or until edges are brown. Check cups after 10 minutes into cooking and if edges are browned cover the cupcakes with foil for the remaining cooking time. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. To remove, use a knife to loosen the edges then pop each cup out.
