Time 4h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup hot-pepper sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon unsulfured molasses
8 hamburger buns, for serving
Pickled vegetables, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add half the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring once, until meat is golden brown, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to the slow cooker, leaving as much oil behind as possible. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and 1/4 cup water to skillet. Cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom with a spoon, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the slow cooker and toss with chicken.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, hot-pepper sauce, Worcestershire, mustard, and molasses to slow cooker; stir to combine. Cover and cook on high until chicken is very tender, 4 hours (or on low for 8 hours).
  • Transfer chicken to a large plate. Using two forks, shred chicken; return to sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Serve on buns, with pickled vegetables on the side.

BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES



Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches image

Forget about the fast food fried chicken sandwich wars! We think our buffalo chicken sandwich beats them all. We fill it with fresh chicken, spicy buffalo sauce, a rich brioche bun and cool blue cheese dressing.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large chicken cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds total)
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 1/2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (about 1/3 cup)
1 cup self-rising flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 brioche buns, split
2 cups shredded coleslaw mix
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a shallow bowl. Cover with the buttermilk, turning to coat. Combine the ranch dressing and blue cheese in a small bowl and refrigerate. On a large plate, stir together the flour and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pour the Buffalo sauce into a shallow bowl. Line a large plate with a few layers of paper towels.
  • Add enough vegetable oil to a large skillet to come halfway up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350˚ F. Working in batches, remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then coat in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and fry until dark golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • As soon as the chicken is cool enough to handle, dip in the Buffalo sauce, coating it entirely. Place each chicken cutlet on a bun bottom and top with coleslaw and cucumber. Spread the bun tops with the blue cheese mixture and close the sandwiches. Serve with potato chips.
