Buffalo Peppers
I couldn't decide whether to do Buffalo Wings or ABT's for this throwdown, so I did this hybrid of the two instead. I think Buffalo Atomic Buffalo Turds sounds redundant, so these may need their own name of some sort.
I started with 6 large ripe Jalapeno's.
I sliced them down from the stem towards the tip of the pepper to slice off a "cap" This gave me access to the insides while giving me a deep cavity once hollowed out.
I then removed the skin from 6 Chicken Thighs. I deboned one small chicken thigh and divided it into 6 pieces, saving the skins and the 6 small pieces, and putting the rest of the chicken away to be used later for something else.
I filled the peppers with a cheese filling made from Cream Cheese and Blue Cheese Crumbles seasoned with a touch of Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt and Pepper. Instead of replacing the sliced pepper "cap", I capped it with a piece of the Chicken Thigh meat. Then I wrapped the pepper with the chicken skin.
I put these in a dish to marinate in some Wing Sauce which in this case was equal parts Butter and Franks Hot Sauce.
I fired up my kettle offset with some K-Briqs and Cherry Chunks. I set the peppers up offset from the coals for 15 minutes, then spooned some more of the sauce over them. After Another 15 minutes the skin looked crispy so I spooned more sauce on them, removed them from the grill, and plated with the finest Chinet plate I could find (smoothest edges).
My name is Chris Baker and I approve this dish.
