SPICY GARLIC CHICKEN WINGS WITH CHOW CHOW AND BLUE CHEESE DIP



Spicy Garlic Chicken Wings With Chow Chow and Blue Cheese Dip image

Provided by Eric Greenspan

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 pounds chicken wings, separated at the joint, tips discarded
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup dried whole chile de arbol
Canola oil, for frying
1 cup peeled garlic cloves
1 cup olive oil
2 cups Frank's RedHot, or other hot sauce
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced on the bias
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced on the bias
1 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 cup crumbled Maytag blue cheese, or other blue cheese
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon celery salt

Steps:

  • For the wings: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the wings, vinegar, salt, sugar and chile in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, remove from the heat, strain the wings and pat them dry. Place the wings on a baking sheet. Bake until the wings are dry, about 15 minutes.
  • While the wings bake, fill a large, deep pot with 3 inches of oil. Place over medium-high heat and bring to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches, fry the wings until crispy and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes per batch, raising or lowering the heat as necessary to keep the oil at temperature. Drain the wings on a wire rack set over a sheet pan.
  • Meanwhile, combine the garlic and olive oil in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat until the oil just simmers. Cover the pan, adjust the heat and simmer until the garlic is tender, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then transfer the oil and garlic to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the hot sauce and pulse until combined. Add a little water if necessary so the mixture is about as thick as syrup. Pour the sauce into a very large bowl. Add the wings and toss to coat.
  • For the chow-chow: Combine the celery, carrots, vinegar, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and let cool. Drain.
  • For the dip: Combine the blue cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, pepper and celery salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Serve the wings with the dip and chow-chow on the side.

SPICY CREAM CHEESE AND SHRIMP DIP



Spicy Cream Cheese and Shrimp Dip image

This is a great recipe for parties and family gatherings. You can make it as spicy as you like, by changing the type of salsa you use. The best salsa to use is one that is chunky. I serve my dip with corn chips. I got the idea by attending a party where salsa was simply poured over blocks of cream cheese.

Provided by MWalker

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 cups of fresh salsa or 2 cups grocery store deli salsa
2 cups of cooked bay shrimp
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Whip softened cream cheese in a food processor for approximately 2 minutes, or until fluffy and no lumps are present.
  • Add salsa and cilantro leaves.
  • Blend again for approximately 1 minute, until mixture is an even color.
  • Add shrimp and mix only long enough to incorporate into mixture (over mixing will cause shrimp to break up into small pieces).
  • Transfer mixture to glass bowl or serving dish and refrigerate for approximately one hour.
  • Garnish with a few cilantro leaves.
  • Serve chilled with corn chips.

WICKED SPICY CROCK POT CHEESE DIP



Wicked Spicy Crock Pot Cheese Dip image

I used to go to a friends house on sundays to watch football, and every time I would make a different chip dip in the crock pot. Eventually this one was requested every week! It's pretty spicy. If you want it a little more mild, I suggest using less of the spicy ingredients (regular sausage, regular rotel, minimal peppers) rather than excluding them entirely. All ingredients combine to MAKE the cheese dip :) I use the maximum amount of each ingredient I have listed.

Provided by eric5168nel

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 bowl of cheese dip, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb spicy Jimmy Dean sausage
32 ounces Velveeta cheese
16 ounces hot rotel (2 cans)
1 -2 fresh habanero, chillis
1 -3 fresh jalapeno
12 ounces salsa

Steps:

  • Start browning the sausage in a skillet, breaking it into small pieces as you would for tacos.
  • Cut the cheese into cubes and throw them in the crock pot with the 2 cans of DRAINED Hot Rotel. You can go ahead and turn it on to get the melting process started.
  • When the sausage is fully cooked, drain the fat and add it to the crock pot.
  • Prepare yourself and your kitchen for cutting hot chillis/peppers. You do not want to touch anything that you dont need to, ESPECIALLY the cover to the crock pot, because it will get on everyone so just leave it off. Wash your hands several times afterwards.
  • Chop/dice the jalapenos fairly well, and the habeneros VERY well. Add to crock pot. As long as you leave about 2 hours for the peppers to cook in the cheese, the actual pepper pieces will not be much spicier than the dip itself.
  • Stir occasionally, and implement step 7 as needed.
  • The salsa is a trick I use for any cheese dip. Because you've used fresh peppers and drained the rotel, the dip will be thick. The salsas primary role is thickness control. You can always thin out a dip, but it takes a long time to thicken one out. Just add a spoon full at a time until it's just right. After it sits out for a while it might need more.
  • Throw in something new and let me know! I think some beans would go in nicely, or some chili.

SPICY NACHO CHEESE DIP

Tortilla chips for dipping
1 TBSP Franks Red Hot Sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • In a heavy large pot, melt butter on medium heat. Put in garlic and shallots and one half of the diced habanero peppers and sauté for about 3-5 minutes or until tender. Wisk in half and half and slowly bring to a boil (stirring often). Mix corn starch with cold water so it is dissolved and then slowly whisk in to the milk sauce base to thicken the mixture. Return the mixture to a boil. Slowly stir in cream cheese until melted. Add cheddar and pepper jack and stir until melted. Add Chili, Jalapeños, Red Peppers, Green chilies and the other half of the habanero peppers. Mix together and let simmer for 5 minutes for the ingredients to get to know each other. Transfer contents to keep dip hot. Serve with tortilla chips. Alternately, you can add Franks Hot sauce (or your favorite hot brand) to spice up the mixture a bit, although it is plenty spicy without it.

SPICY CHEESE DIP



Spicy Cheese Dip image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (12-ounce) can stewed tomatoes with juice
4 to 6 cloves garlic
3 whole fresh jalapenos
1 whole medium white onion
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 to 6 fresh Roma tomatoes
Kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper
1/2 lime, juiced
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 large chopped onion
1 or 2 chopped jalapenos
1 tablespoon freshly chopped garlic
Salt and pepper
2 pounds velveta cheese, cubed
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup whole milk
Tortilla chips

Steps:

  • Puree stewed tomato juice only, garlic and 2 jalapenos in a blender or processor. Finely chop the onion, 1 jalapeno, 2 to 3 tablespoons of cilantro and 4 to 6 Roma tomatoes. Roughly chop the stewed tomatoes. Mix all these ingredients in a large bowl. Season with kosher salt, fresh ground pepper and lime juice.;
  • Cook the ground beef, onion, jalapenos, garlic and dash of salt and pepper. Drain excess fat in a small bowl. Add the beef mixture to slow cooker and put on medium setting. Keep hot. Add cubes of cheese, cream of mushroom soup and milk and stir. Next add 2 cups of the salsa mixture to the cheese mixture. Can be kept warm for 1/2 hour or longer. Serve with chips.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor and texture of your dip. For a classic nacho cheese dip, use a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. If you want a spicy dip, add in some pepper jack or jalapeño cheese. For a creamy dip, use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can prevent it from melting smoothly. Shredding your own cheese ensures that it will melt evenly and create a smooth, creamy dip.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients you use, the better your dip will taste. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the dip. Overcooking the dip can cause the cheese to become rubbery and tough. Cook the dip until it is just melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the dip immediately. Cheese dip is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more likely it is to become thick and congealed.
