Crispy Baked Chicken w/ Herb Buffalo Sauce

November 2, 2012 6 comments Article Main Course, Meat, Recipes, Sauces
Holy cow have I been busy! Between school and work, I am now a catering production cook for Whole Foods in Boulder, I have not had any time to cook for myself, let alone photograph recipes! I am learning so much between school and work, but I could really use some down time; there are just not enough hours in the day. One thing that has made me a bit more cheerful is the fact that it SNOWED here in Colorado last week!! The ski resorts are starting to all open and I finally get to go snowboarding for the first time after my winter in Hawaii, I can’t wait! I don’t know about you but with snow comes my craving for hot food.
I am finally feeling comfortable experimenting in the kitchen with recipes and they are finally coming out blog-worthy! Woohoo! That means more unique and exciting recipes for you all, even if it may take me a good minute to get them posted. =) I’m sure I have many foodie friends that share my addiction for chicken wings. I can’t get enough of them. Unfortunately, we can’t eat chicken wings for every meal, so my temptations urged me to create a healthier alternative, and not to mention one that is pretty enough to be served at a dinner party! Behold, my crispy baked chicken with herb Buffalo sauce. This recipe is a great money saver too if you buy a whole chicken, only about $5!, and break it down yourself. You can see my tutorial on how to do this in my last post: Fabricating a Whole Chicken (A How-To). This recipe is great served with Oven Roasted Potatoes, recipe here.

    Could you please supply a recipe for “buffalo” sauce, as this is not a sauce available downunder in Australia. Many Thanks. m

    Jenny, I love how the sauce echoes the parsley & thyme flavors in the chicken, but with added heat — really a nice “creation!” Glad to hear you’re getting some time on the slopes in between your hectic schedule, too. 🙂

    Unfortunately I do not know how to make buffalo sauce! I wish haha “Buffalo” sauce is a wing sauce that originated in Buffalo New York, you might be able to find some in your local grocery stores. Sorry! =(

    THE NEW BUFFALO SAUCE FOR WINGS AND CHICKEN

    16-ounce bottle Frank’s Red Hot Cayenne Pepper Sauce
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/4 cup minced onion
    1 tablespoon butter
    1/4 cup molasses
    1/4 cup honey
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
    1/2 cup Heinz ketchup
    1 stick butter or clarified butter

    Saute onion and garlic until soft in 1 tablespoon butter. Do not brown too much. Add the rest of the ingredients, cooking on medium temperature and stirring every so often to avoid sticking. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 45 minutes. At the last minute, fold in clarified butter or 1 stick of butter, melting it at a low temperature to avoid separation. Makes about 2 cups of sauce. You may not have Franks hot sauce. Just use the same
    amout of hot sauce you can get. Hope this helps you out.
