East Buffalo Chicken

- 2 whole Chicken Breasts, Cut Into Strips
- 2 Tablespoons Louisiana Seasoning, Ver. 2.0**
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cubed
- 3 Tablespoons Hot Sauce
- *Okay, Im cheating here.
- We like to keep a bag of frozen chicken breast tenderloins in the freezer for a variety of dishes.
- These bags o chicken can be found at your local wholesale warehouse-style store, and sometimes at your local grocery store.
- You could also pick up extra chicken when you see a good price at the grocery store, and pop it in the freezer.
- I like the frozen tenderloins because I can drop them in the pan frozen, and they STILL cook up quickly.
- What can I say, Im all about the easy.
- 1.
- Heat about a tablespoon, or two, of pure olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- When the oil starts to ripple slightly, carefully place the chicken in the skillet to cook.
- While the chicken cooks, sprinkle a generous amount of the Louisiana seasoning over the chicken.
- (Recipe below!)
- 2.
- When the one side is cooked, flip the chicken and hit the other side with the seasoning.
- Continue cooking until its almost done.
- 3.
- Now, take your utensil of choice (I prefer a slightly flat-edged spoon) and go medieval on the chicken to break it up into bite-sized pieces.
- Let the chicken finish cooking.
- 4.
- Move the chicken to the outside of the skillet, and drop in the butter to melt.
- 5.
- Add the hot sauce, stir just to combine, and turn off the heat.
- Its like this: further heating will cause the butter to separate and leave your sauce very oily instead of creamy.
- (The sauce will break yup, thats a cooking term for fail.
- Use it sometime, and watch the looks you get.
- ).
- 6.
- Serve and enjoy!
- We like to serve the chicken over steamed white rice, with a big honkin (thats a technical term) dollop of bleu cheese dressing.
- Serve up a side of your choice and youre good to go.
- ** Louisiana Seasoning, Ver.
- 2.0
- Heres my version of a Louisiana seasoning blend.
- Ill admit it, I started with a certain chefs recipe (BAM?
- ), but tweaked it to our taste.
- Try it, and youll be saying, ah-YEE.
- (Thats Cajun for Youbetcha.)
- 1 Tbsp.
- kosher salt 4 Tbsp.
- paprika 2 Tbsp.
- garlic powder 1 Tbsp.
- dried oregano 1 Tbsp.
- cayenne pepper 1 Tbsp.
- fresh ground black pepper 1 Tbsp.
- onion powder 1 Tbsp.
- dried thyme
- Combine and store in an airtight container (a small Mason jar works works great) and use on dang-near anything, although I tend to stop before I reach for the ice cream.
- Just remember to give it a quick shake each time you use it.
