Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings and Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins

[FONT=&quot]I had a hankering for some Wings and Thangs so I searched the internet for a good appetizer to go with wings. I came up with one from “Tasty” on YouTube.

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]I started out with the potato skins as they took the longest. Here are the ingredients: [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4 medium large (or 8 smaller) Russet potatoes. Prick w/ fork and bake for 60 minutes at 400 degrees. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Let them cool and cut in half. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Scoop out most of the potato flesh leaving approximately 1/4". [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Place them on a baking rack (flesh side up) and coat the flesh with some OO and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. (Flip after 10)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]While they are baking put the flesh of 2 scooped out potatoes into a bowl, add the following and then mix well:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1/2 cup grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1/2 cup grated Mozzarella Cheese[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]6 oz. of softened Cream Cheese[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2 cups shredded chicken[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 packet of Ranch Seasoning. (2 tbsp.’s)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1/2 cup Hot Sauce[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mix well.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Take the potato skins and fill with the potato and chicken mixture. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Top with more grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. (Drizzle with some ranch dressing and some diced green onion and serve)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For the wings I used a recipe from Chef John on Food Wishes. Here are the ingredients:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Ingredients for 4 portions:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2 1/2 pounds chicken wing sections (I had 1 ¼ lbs. so I cut these amounts in half)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 tbsp kosher salt[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 tsp freshly ground black pepper [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 tsp smoked paprika[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2 tbsp baking powder (aluminum free)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]- Coat wings, and bake at 425 F., turning every 15-20 minutes, until they are browned and crispy. Total cooking time will be about 1 hour, but that depends on the size and temperature of your wings.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]On the kamado at 400.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]After 15 minutes I flipped them.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]While they were cooking I made up the glaze. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Here are the ingredients:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For the Honey Sriracha glaze: ([/FONT][FONT=&quot]I cut these amounts in half)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1/3 cup honey[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1/3 cup Sriracha[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1/4 tsp sesame oil[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]sesame seeds to garnish[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Here they are ready to be glazed.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Here they are plated up with some ranch dressing, carrots, celery and a Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Close up of the wings.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Close up of the Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Wings had some nice heat and sweetness to them and the shin was fairly crispy too. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And done! [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Yum!

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Thanks for looking.[/FONT]

I wood eat.
I would drink.
Instead of ranch dressing, try a 50/50 mix of sour cream and Kens chunky blue cheese dressing. You will never go back to ranch.

Thank you WZB. That 50/50 mix sounds good and I will try it next time.
