Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 25m

Yield 12 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 12-ounce bottle buffalo hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, light and dark meat
12 sweet Hawaiian slider rolls, sliced in half through the middle
Celery Blue Cheese Slaw (see recipe below)
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 celery stalks, thinly sliced on a bias (about 1 heaping cup)
3 green onions, thinly sliced on a bias
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • To a medium-sized, straight-sided pan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Once melted, add the buffalo sauce, garlic powder and onion powder and whisk to incorporate. Bring the mixture up to a simmer and stir in the shredded chicken. Turn the heat down to low and let simmer until the chicken is heated through and evenly coated in the sauce, about 5 minutes.
  • To assemble: Lay the Hawaiian slider rolls on a clean work surface, cut side-up. Using tongs, transfer the buffalo chicken to the bottom half of the rolls. Top each with celery slaw. Spoon the remaining buffalo sauce on the cut-side of the top buns. Place the top half on and skewer each slider.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a medium sized bowl and toss to combine. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 lemon, juiced
1 (10-ounce) package cole slaw mix
Kosher salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
Canola oil, to fry
1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce, store-bought
4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
2 tablespoons smoked paprika, plus more for seasoning
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 cup self-rising flour
1 egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot sauce
4 soft club rolls, split and toasted

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, crumbled blue cheese, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice until well incorporated. Add cole slaw mix and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough canola oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
  • Put buffalo sauce in a shallow dish and set aside. Season the chicken with smoked paprika, and salt and pepper, to taste. Put the flour, 2 tablespoons of paprika, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of pepper in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish add the egg, buttermilk, and hot sauce and whisk together. Dredge each piece of chicken in the buttermilk mixture and shake off any excess, then dredge into flour mixture. Fry until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an-instant read thermometer. Dip the finished chicken in the buffalo sauce and put them on the club rolls. Top the chicken with a liberal amount of slaw and form a sandwich.

LOW FAT BUFFALO CHICKEN TENDERS W/ BLUE CHEESE DIP



Low Fat Buffalo Chicken Tenders W/ Blue Cheese Dip image

Using the lean chicken tender reduced the amuont of fat, as does baking the chicken instead of frying. The blue cheese dip is lower in fat and calories, so this is guilt free snacking! Taken from the Heart Healthy cookbook. Note: prep time includes marinate/refrigeration time. Note: After making these many times, I have found that it is much easier to cook them on the George Foreman after marinading. I'm sure pan frying would work as well. Experiment and enjoy!
