These chicken nuggets are….OUTRAGEOUS! In the best way. I really recommend brining your chicken overnight for maximum flavor and juiciness. You can also use chicken thighs here for even softer, more tender meat, but I like a good chicken breast nugget. You know what I love about this recipe? It’s gluten-free but you genuinely couldn’t tell. The cornflakes add a subtle sweetness and beautiful crunch to the coating of the chicken, and I think whether we’re gluten-free or not gluten-free, we can all appreciate a great crunch.

Not going to lie to you, I impulsively served this with honey mustard ranch. I just randomly decided “lets mix all this together because I have a bottle of ranch right next to me” but you don’t have to serve it with this! Ketchup, mustard, plain honey mustard, plain ranch or ketchup/mayo works great! Live your truth!

It’s Super Bowl week and I’m going ALL OUT! Yesterday I posted a Philly cheesesteak potato skin recipe (which you must make btw because they’re so delicious) and I randomly came up with this buffalo cheddar tot recipe to utilize the filling that was scooped out while making the potato skins. I honestly came up with this on the fly, I had no measurements in mind and really winged the whole thing. That being said, this is my attempt at putting together exact measurements for ease. Every potato is a different size, so you might have more or less “filling” than I had and you most likely will have to adjust these accordingly. For example, if the 2/3 cup of buffalo sauce makes your potato mixture too soft, you will have to add a little more cassava flour. Same thing vice versa – if the mixture seems too dry, feel free to add more buffalo sauce. Follow your instinct! It should not be too wet, and it should feel like a mashed potato ball with a slight bouncy starchy consistency. It should not be gluey and it should not be dry.

This recipe is gluten-free because I used cassava flour as my binder, but if you are not gluten intolerant and don’t want to buy cassava flour, feel free to use all purpose flour!

Not into traditional frying? You can spritz these with nonstick spray and air fry them for 15-20 minutes at 375 F.

I love this recipe because you can take what you want from it (ie: serve the chicken salad by itself or just use the dressing on roasted potatoes) OR you can make this bombbbbb salad, which I think you will love.

Cheesy Crab Dip with Smoky Paprika Crinkle Fries https://diningwithskyler.com/cheesy-crab-dip-with-smoky-paprika-crinkle-fries?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cheesy-crab-dip-with-smoky-paprika-crinkle-fries https://diningwithskyler.com/cheesy-crab-dip-with-smoky-paprika-crinkle-fries#respond Wed, 02 Feb 2022 00:17:07 +0000 https://diningwithskyler.com/recipe/cheesy-crab-dip-with-smoky-paprika-crinkle-fries/ This Chickie's & Pete's remake is such a winner in my book!

Anyone else obsessed with Chickie’s & Pete’s crinkle fries with Old Bay and cheese sauce? It can’t be just me… I remember having them at a football game in high school and I’ve been in love ever since. So, I decided to give them a little self-made upgrade. Instead of just a cheesy sauce, we’re making a cheesy CRAB dip (because I feel like Old Bay and crab need to be together at all times.)

I know there’s currently a cream cheese shortage, and when I was shopping for this recipe I definitely saw empty shelves at the stores (truly devastating.) The only store that I found cream cheese at was actually Trader Joe’s! So definitely go there if you are having trouble finding cream cheese.

Can’t find lump crab meat (or just wanna explore some other options?) For something more affordable, go with canned crab meat or even cooked shrimp that’s finely chopped. For something more *bougie,* go for jumbo lump crab meat.

Where my Chickie’s & Pete’s lovers at!?!? Great for game day- also goes w beer (obv) but I love cava🥂#gamedayfood #superbowllvi #footballfood #dip

There’s no denying that I’m loving and eating buffalo chicken this week….I kind of have a problem 🙂 it’s fine. I previously made my buffalo chicken dip and buffalo chicken dip bites, but these are a gluten-free friendly snack size option for those of you who want all the buffalo chicken fun without the dip or the gluten.

gluten free buffalo chicken poppers

These buffalo chicken poppers (named coined by all of you – thank you!) are like a hybrid between a juicy chicken meatball and a chicken nugget. They’re made with a ground chicken mixture: cream cheese, buffalo sauce, celery and scallions, plus spices and aromatics. Then, we add gluten-free bread crumbs to the mixture to hold it together, and coat the nuggets in gluten-free bread crumbs for the ultimate crunch. The only difference between nuggets and meatballs in this case is the shape, so if you want to serve them as meatballs on skewers instead, be my guest!

Want to jazz it up even more? Add everything seasoning to your bread crumb mixture for extra crunch and flavor. You know I love my everything seasoning, so I didn’t want to go on overkill with the seasoning for Instagram purposes…but I do have to say that I love these with everything seasoning.

I know this may seem obvious, but when making this recipe, please make sure that the cream cheese, buffalo sauce and bread crumbs you are using are certified gluten-free!

I’m keeping this blog post brief because I just went on a massive “why I love buffalo chicken dip” rant in my latest recipe for my buffalo chicken dip bites. This buffalo chicken dip is the *same* thing as the filling served in those bites! The one thing that’s different here is that the dip is actually easier to make because all you’re doing is mixing up the dip ingredients, then baking it with cheese and extra sauce.  No hassle, tons of flavor.

Serve this dip with crackers (I love to enjoy with Cheez-Its for an extra WOW factor,) tortilla chips, pita chips, baguette, crostini, pickles… the world is your oyster.

buffalo chicken dip bites

Am I the only person who looks forward to the Super Bowl more than I look forward to Valentines Day? This isn’t because I love football. I love the Super Bowl because I love football…. food. Cheese….meat….buffalo sauce on everything….more cheese…dips….fried things…. ahhhhhhh!!!! Sometimes (most of the time) I don’t even watch the Super Bowl! I will just watch whatever I want and enjoy football food because I know that’s what everyone else is doing. I feel like I’m part of this delicious food community on Super Bowl Sunday. Sure, maybe I’m weird, but we all are so don’t @ me!

There’s no question that Buffalo chicken dip is a quintessential Super Bowl food. It’s also just a damn good weekend snack for those cozy, lazy days in. But, in the spirit of the big game coming up, I had a buffalo chicken themed week and I’ve got some spicy, sexy recipes comin’ for you.

You can go two ways with this recipe. You can make it into a dip, or you can wrap the buffalo chicken dip in  crescent roll dough and make buffalo dip *~bites~*. Regardless, just make it. OK?

I posted a little video on Instagram for my visual learners out there!

Enough chit chat, let’s get to business.

These are braised in a comforting, wheat beer and tossed in a honey mustard glaze. This s a super easy, 20-minute DIY restaurant dish!

I really left nothing out in the title for this post, but if you want me to tell you more about this dish, look no further! First of all, if you’re wondering how one can braise a vegetable (isn’t it usually a meat preparation?!) well I have news for you! You can braise anything! All braising means is to first cook the food with a dry heat (typically a pan-sear) and then to finish it off with a liquid, which usually helps tenderize the food that’s cooking. In this recipe today, that’s exactly what I do with some Brussels sprouts.

To break it down for you: first, we cook the bacon, which will render some delicious, sexy, smoky fat. Then, we remove the bacon and put our Brussels sprouts into the pan with the fat. In turn, they partially fry/sear in the bacon fat, yielding golden brown edges and a toasty caramelized flavor. Brussels sprouts are tougher, robust vegetables, so many people blanch them (AKA briefly cook in boiling water for 1 minute to tenderize) before putting them in the pan to sear. This is where I decided to go with a braise instead, which is essentially the opposite of the blanch method. I decided to give my Brussels a beer bath, so they soak up the moisture and the flavor. Then, I added the bacon back into pan and toss it all together with a simple honey mustard glaze. And that’s the dish! Shockingly easy and unbelievably flavorful.

In a nutshell, here’s the method!
