Easy Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sliders Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken stock or water
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 bottle of prepared Buffalo sauce
  • 1/4 head of purple cabbage shredded or thinly chopped
  • 2 - 3 jalapeno peppers sliced
  • 4 ounces blue cheese crumbles
  • Slider rolls

Instructions

  1. Add chicken and stock or water to a slow cooker and cook on low 5 - 6 hours or until the fat part has an internal temperature of 160
  2. Remove chicken from slow cooker, drain most of the liquid but leaving a little in the pot
  3. Shred chick with two forks
  4. Return chicken to slow cooker
  5. Add prepared Buffalo sauce, reduce temperature to warm or keep on low until warmed through
  6. Keep warm
  7. Serve on slider rolls and top with cabbage, jalapenos, and blue cheese crumbles

NOTES

  1. I recommend making a slider bar near the slow cooker to avoid soggy buns.  Just keep warm and set out the toppings for guests to make their own
  2. There was plenty here to make 12 – 15 sliders
  3. Serve with carrot and celery sticks and some ranch and/or blue cheese dressing

30 Cookout, Grilling, and Party Recipes for Labor Day Weekend

We are headed to Hilton Head this weekend for one last beach trip before summer ends – not to worry – the house won’t be vacant.  We have a pet sitter coming so the dogs won’t be running amuck and doing water ballet in our living room like in those Farmers Insurance commercials.  Hilarious if not in your own house.  I thought I’d leave you with a recipe roundup to cover all your cookout, grilling, and party needs for the long weekend.  Party on!

Ok.  Yes, I know that lawyers can’t do math, but I’m well aware that there are actually 31 recipes in this post of 30 recipes for Labor Day.  I just felt like the booze wasn’t well represented, so I had to add that last popsicle.

Y’all have a safe and fantastic Labor Day Weekend!  Fingers crossed that we all stay dry on the east coast and this hurricane spins back out to sea!

Pimento Cheese, Beer Battered Onion Ring, and Fried Green Tomato Burger

June 19, 2015 by rachelle 16 Comments

There ain’t nothin’ skinny about this burger, y’all.  Sometimes you just have to have a big nasty redneck this ain’t yo mama’s southern burger.

 

DSC_0712_01

 

Here in the south the typical local burger includes some version of chili, slaw, and mustard.  I find that disgusting unappealing.

 

DSC_0713_01

 

I want my burger with homemade pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes, and beer battered onion rings.  Especially in time to kick off the weekend!  Woot!  I also think it’s fair to say that your dad will probably love a big nasty redneck burger for Father’s Day – I know mine would!

 

DSC_0712_01

 

As an afterthought, you know what I wish I had done to this burger to take it up another nasty level?

 

DSC_0722_01

 

I really wish I  had dropped a big ole runny fried egg on top of that burger.  You should totally do it!

Chris put a fist on top of my masterpiece and smashed his down in order to eat it. 🙂  Whaaaa? Happy Friday, y’all!

Burger

Ingredients

For the Beer Battered Onion Rings and Fried Green Tomatoes

  • 1 vidalia or other sweet onion sliced about 1/4 inch thick and separated from each other into rings
  • 1 green tomato 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 cups buttermilk
  • 2 cups cake flour divided
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup beer - I used Stone Brewery Smoked Porter
  • canola oil for frying several cups
  • 2 cups Panko bread crumbs

For the Pimento Cheese

  • 8 ounces extra sharp white cheddar shredded
  • 4 ounces orange sharp cheddar shredded
  • 1/2 cup mayonaise
  • 1/4 cup jarred pimentos

For the Burgers

  • 1 package of ground chuck mine was 1.4 pounds and made 5 burgers
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
  • Salt and pepper according to taste
  • 1 fresh jalapeno pepper sliced, optional
  • Hamburger buns I used onion rolls

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup cake flour, egg, paprika, cayenne, and salt in a bowl
  2. Whisk in beer (batter will be somewhat lumpy), set aside for 30 minutes
  3. Combine all the pimento cheese ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined, set aside
  4. Prepare the burgers by combining all ingredients in a bowl and form into patties - I made 5 burgers about 1/2 inch thick, press an indentation into the middle of each one
  5. Cover burgers with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed
  6. Preheat oven to 200
  7. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and set aside
  8. Pour canola oil into a heavy pan (I used a cast iron enamel coated Dutch oven) enough to be at least 3 inches deep
  9. Heat oil to 350 degrees preferably using a deep fry thermometer
  10. in separate bowls put remaining cup cake flour, panko, and buttermilk
  11. Take individual rings, dip into buttermilk, then beer batter, then flour, then beer batter, then panko
  12. Carefully drop into heated oil a few at a time until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes, then flip for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden brown
  13. Remove onions from oil with a wire spider/skimmer, set on prepared rack on baking sheet
  14. Keep warm in oven until ready to assemble burgers
  15. Repeat the same process with the tomatoes
  16. Heat cast iron skillet or grill over medium high
  17. Fry or grill burgers 3-4 minutes each side, depending how big they are and desired final temperature
  18. About 1 minute before removing from pan/grill, top each burger with prepared pimento cheese so it begins to melt
  19. Arrange buns on platter, add 1 pimento topped burger per bun, top with 1 fried green tomato, 1 or 2 onion rings, drop jalapeno slices in the center of the onion ring (if using), cover with bun top
  20. Serve with additional onion rings

Onion ring recipe adapted from Williams-Sonoma.  I added the panko or a thicker and crispier outer layer in the spirit of fried chicken.

Note: There were only two of us, so 1 onion was enough for burgers and a side of onion rings – double onion ring recipe if you need more

Note:  I think we all know that I’m a weenie and I do not touch jalapeno peppers or anything else spicy with a 10 foot pole, so those did not exist on my burger.  Chris liked them though.  I almost fried those too, but he said he was glad I didn’t.

Note: You could totally add bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, fried egg, or any other accoutrements to this burger.  Do whatever blows your dress up.  I’ll still respect you in the morning.
