Shredded Buffalo Chicken Sliders With Blue Cheese Celery Slaw Food

SHREDDED BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS WITH BLUE CHEESE CELERY SLAW

Steps:

• Whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar and mustard. Add diced celery, crumbled blue cheese and coleslaw; mix thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove chicken from the bone and shred using two forks. Place in bowl and add hot wing sauce, just enough to coat the chicken. Place some of the buffalo chicken mixture on a soft slider bun, then top with a generous portion of blue cheese celery slaw. Serve with extra wing sauce.
• Tip: If you're using a rotisserie chicken that's no longer hot, or if your chicken has been refrigerated, let it come to room temperature, then heat your wing sauce before tossing with the chicken. Your chicken will dry out if you microwave it, but the heat of the wing sauce will warm it up just enough without drying it out.

BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH BLUE CHEESE SLAW

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.

BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS WITH CELERY-BLUE CHEESE SLAW

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.
