Buffalo Chicken Rillettes
- 5 ounces pork fat or lard
- 1/2 cup Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 onion onion, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco or pther hot sauce
- 1 pinch cayenne
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces, large veins removed
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Combine all the ingredients, except for the chicken and white vinegar, in a saucepan and heat gently until the fat has melted. Add the chicken and cook over very low heat, stirring often for 1 hour. Add the vinegar to the pan and continue to cook until the meat shreds easily, about another hour.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix at low speed until the meat breaks into pieces. Adjust consistency by adding a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid to the bowl (consistency should be spreadable, not runny or dry). Test for seasoning and add more salt, hot sauce or vinegar as needed.
- Pack the meat into a suitable jar or ramekin. Allow the cooking liquid to separate and spoon fat over the top of the meat to cover and create a seal.
- Serve with crusty bread, celery sticks and good blue cheese.
