BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS IN A JAR



Buffalo Chicken Wings in a Jar image

This fun-sized take on the game day appetizer offers everything you love about Buffalo wings, minus the bones, messy frying, and any risk of your drunk friends dripping sauce all over the place. Instead of wings, we simply take chicken thighs, simmer them directly in butter 'n hot sauce, shred, and mix with celery. The blue cheese comes in the accompanying crostini: baguette slices toasted and spread with butter and blue cheese.

Time 2h35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
3 tablespoons water
⅓ cup finely chopped celery
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 baguette, cut into 1/4 inch slices
¼ cup melted butter
½ cup blue cheese, or to taste
¼ cup butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Heat a dry saucepan over high heat. Place thighs skin-side down in the hot pan and cook until skin is browned, seasoning generously with salt, about 5 minutes. Turn thighs over once skin no longer sticks to the pan. Add butter, Louisiana hot sauce, and water. Toss thighs around to stir the sauce until butter is melted.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until meat can be easily pulled from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from heat and break meat up into smaller pieces using tongs, stirring it into the sauce. Let mixture cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
  • Transfer meat to a mixing bowl, shredding it into smaller pieces. Discard bones, cartilage, and skin.
  • Bring the sauce in the pan to a boil over medium-high heat. Let reduce until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour sauce into the bowl of chicken meat and mix thoroughly. Taste for seasoning; add salt, cayenne, and hot sauce as needed. Add celery and mix one last time.
  • Pack chicken mixture into a pint-sized jar or crock, and top with a spoonful of hot sauce if desired, and seal jar. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before service to allow spread to warm up a bit.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in the meantime. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush tops generously with butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to turn golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, smear butter and blue cheese together in a small bowl until combined.
  • Remove toasted baguette slices and let cool slightly, leaving the oven on. Spread blue cheese spread on top, then continue baking crostini until golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with the Buffalo chicken spread.

Categories     Canapes

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 12 as a canapé

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp celery salt
4 tbsp pepper sauce (we used Frank's hot sauce)
3 tbsp honey
1 ½kg chicken wings, halved at the joint

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, cider vinegar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, hot sauce, honey and a couple of cracks of black pepper. Add the chicken wings and toss around to make sure they're fully covered in the marinade. If you have time, leave the wings to marinate for a couple of hrs in the fridge or ideally overnight.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Drain and reserve the marinade, then spread the wings out on a very large baking tray. Bake for 30 mins, then pour off the excess oil, add the reserved marinade and toss well. Increase oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Return to the oven and cook for a further 30 mins, tossing a few times to coat in the glaze as they cook. They should be sticky and glazed with most of the marinade evaporated. Serve on a large platter alongside other party snacks.

  • Shake the jar vigorously every 15 minutes. This will help coat the chicken wings evenly in the sauce.
  • Bake the chicken wings for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the wing. It should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
