EASY PEASY APPETIZER - BUFFALO CHICKEN BITES
This is a very easy appetizer to put together. Not only do they have great presentation, but also they taste good, to boot. If you really want to save time, you can pick up some precooked shredded chicken, and some bottled blue cheese dip. But that homemade blue cheese dip, just can't be beat. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- BLUE CHEESE DIP
- Gather your ingredients.
- Add all the dip ingredients, except the blue cheese, to the bowl of a small prep food processor.
- Chef's Note: Season with salt & pepper, to taste.
- Pulse until the ingredients are mixed and smooth.
- Chef's Note: Check the seasoning, and add a bit more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Remove from the prep bowl, place into a small mixing bowl, and add the blue cheese.
- Carefully fold the mixture together, and then reserve.
- Chef's Tip: This dip benefits from spending some time in the fridge. If you can make the dip the day before, that would be excellent.
- BUFFALO BITES
- Gather your ingredients.
- Add the butter and oil to a small sauté pan over medium low heat.
- When the butter has melted swirl the pan to mix with the butter with the oil, and then add the chicken breast.
- Chef's Note: Season the chicken with a bit of salt & pepper.
- Cover and allow the chicken to slowly cook, until no longer pink, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from the sauté pan, allow to cool, and then shred and reserve.
- Add the cream cheese, ranch dressing, and hot sauce to a mixing bowl, and thoroughly combine.
- Add the shredded cheddar, or pepper jack, and chicken to the mix and fold together.
- THE ASSEMBLY
- Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
- Add a tablespoon of the buffalo mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper.
- Pick up the opposite corners of the wonton wrapper, and pinch together.
- Chef's Note: Use a bit of water to seal the two corners.
- Put the wantons on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place in the preheated oven until they become crispy, about 4 - 5 minutes.
- Chef's Note: This whole thing boils down to timing. Leave them in the oven for too long and the wanton will harden and have the consistency of a dough cracker (not a good thing). The difference can be as little as 60 seconds or less, so keep an eye on the oven.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Serve with the blue cheese dip, and watch them disappear. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
BUFFALO CHICKEN BITES
This is always in demand at any football get together. You can make the bites and use any type of sauce you want. Me personally, I like to take a quarter cup of Sweet Baby Ray's® barbecue sauce and a quarter cup of Franks Red Hot® sauce and mix it together.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Beat eggs together in a separate bowl. Dip chicken pieces in the egg; transfer chicken to flour mixture and coat completely.
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Fry coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, working in batches, until no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side; drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Combine hot sauce, garlic, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in the microwave until butter is melted and sauce is warm, about 1 minute. Serve hot sauce mixture as a dipping sauce or pour over buffalo chicken bites.
