At the county fair my MIL serves Buffalo Wings, with her own secret sauce. I've been working the fairs for 12 years now and keep meaning to try it with chicken breasts (my preferred cut of chicken)...I still haven't tried it.
I saw the idea on pinterest a couple of weeks ago for Buffalo Chicken Wraps. The other night I tried to make them, but my own way.
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
Hot Wing Sauce
Got that? Easy right.
Throw it all in a pot (or crockpot), with enough sauce to almost cover the breasts, and cook it low and slow, until chicken can be shredded. I did mine on the stove top on low for about 3 hours.
This is the part that makes this so deliciously awesome, my MIL's {secret} wing sauce recipe. Now, I could swear you all to secrecy, but honestly this is online, I don't think that's going to happen.
1lb butter
1/3 cup flour
3 T granulated garlic
3 T sugar
15 ounce tomato sauce
3 cups hot sauce (Frank's Red Hot or something along those lines)
Melt butter on stove top in medium sized pan. Add in flour, garlic, sugar, tomato sauce and hot sauce. Stir until all mixed together (it doesn't have to boil or anything). It makes a lot: I froze some of it, but my MIL just keeps it in her fridge, it's been there for 9 months and hasn't gone bad.
What we did? Took a tortilla wrap, put some lettuce in, the shredded buffalo chicken, a bit of the wing sauce, some blue cheese dressing and crumbled blue cheese. Roll it all up and voila! Instant and delicious meal!

I feel exactly the same about chicken wings - too much work (and mess), and for what? For a bite (if even that) of chicken meat? No thank you.
You inspired our dinner tonight. We made a quick version on the Buffalo Chicken wrap. However I didn't plan far enough ahead to slow cook chicken breasts. So instead we bought chicken "tenderloins" (as they call them), dusted them in some rice flour and pan seared them. That way that were crisp on the outside without all the breading. Worked out nicely! Thanks for the inspiration!!
