Ingredients

• ✓ chicken thigh
• avocado oil
• white vinegar
• ranch dressing mix
• garlic powder
• salt
• black pepper
• cheddar cheese
• parsley

Instructions

1. 1 Combine chicken, avocado oil, white vinegar, ranch powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir well until the chicken is coated, cover, and marinate in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes, but not much longer, as the texture will become mushy.
2. 2 Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place chicken cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, not touching.
3. 3 Air fry until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, flipping once when the edges start to brown, being sure not to overcook, 8 to 11 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Your cooking time may vary depending on the brand and size of your air fryer, and you may need to cook in batches.
4. 4 Sprinkle the chicken with Cheddar cheese. Return to the air fryer until cheese melts, for about 30 seconds. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley.

Instructions

1. 1 Combine chicken thighs, cream cheese, jalapeno peppers with juice, green enchilada sauce, salt, and black pepper together in a slow cooker.
2. 2 Cook on High for 3 to 4 hours. Shred chicken with 2 forks and stir with sauce in the slow cooker to combine.

Ingredients

• ✓ chicken thigh
• butter
• kosher salt
• black pepper
• hot sauce
• egg
• kosher salt
• all-purpose flour
• milk
• butter
• cooking spray
• blue cheese
• celery

Instructions

1. 1 Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs with the smoother sides facing down and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other sides. Turn off the heat and remove chicken to a plate. Let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
2. 2 Cut chicken into ½-inch pieces and transfer back to the plate.
3. 3 Pour chicken and any accumulated juices back into the saucepan. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir in hot sauce, turn heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
4. 4 Meanwhile, combine eggs, salt, flour, and milk for Dutch babies in a bowl. Whisk for a few minutes until batter is smooth and thin. Let rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
5. 5 Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with 1 tablespoon butter, then spray the cups with nonstick spray.
6. 6 Transfer the rested batter into a liquid measure. Pour into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway full. Spoon some Buffalo chicken into each cup then sprinkle blue cheese over top.
7. 7 Place in the center of a cold oven. Set a baking sheet on a lower rack to catch any drips. Turn the heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and set a timer for 30 minutes, at which point the Dutch babies should be puffed up and browned.
8. 8 Remove from the oven and let sit until the centers collapse, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool in the pan for another 5 minutes, then use a fork to carefully remove them to a wire rack. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature with a celery stick in each one.

Instructions

1. 1 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add dried chiles; cook, turning occasionally, until toasted and blistered in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water to just cover the chiles, and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
2. 2 Combine chiles, achiote, garlic, chipotles, 2/3 cup onion, orange juice, vinegar, oil, cumin, brown sugar, and salt in a blender; process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Reserve 1/2 cup marinade, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. 3 Place remaining marinade in a shallow dish or large resealable plastic bag, add chicken; toss to evenly coat. Cover chicken with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
4. 4 Place wooden skewers in a shallow dish; cover with water by 1 inch. Let stand at room temperature while chicken marinates.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Position oven rack 8 inches away from heating element. Line a small roasting pan or 13- x 9-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
6. 6 Thread 1 pineapple slice onto 2 skewers, being sure to pierce through the center core, (skewers will be about 1 inch apart), leaving a 1 1/2-inch space from end of skewer. Thread 5 to 6 pieces of marinated chicken, stacking on top of pineapple; thread 1 pineapple slice. Repeat process, ending with pineapple slice, until all chicken pieces and pineapple slices are used, making 4 stacks total. Brush with any remaining marinade from chicken.

• long grain white rice
• shallot
• garlic
• celery
• banana pepper
• yellow onion
• butter
• cajun seasoning
• canola oil
• red bell pepper
• poblano chile
• andouille sausage

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat your oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of foil.
2. 2 Cook andouille sausage in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from skillet and cut into 1/4-inch slices; set aside.
3. 3 While the sausage is cooking, cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the stem and seeds. Place peppers, cut-side-down onto baking sheet and place into preheated oven. Broil peppers until the skins blacken, about 7 minutes, then place into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam for 10 minutes until the skins loosen, then remove and discard blackened skins; chop peppers into 1/2 inch pieces and set aside.
4. 4 Heat the canola oil in a stockpot over high heat. Toss the chicken with Cajun seasoning and sear in batches in the oil until light brown and no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes. Remove chicken, leaving oil in the stockpot, and drain on paper towels.
5. 5 Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter to the oil. Stir in the onion, banana peppers, celery, garlic, and shallot; cook until the onions are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rice and 1 1/2 tablespoon butter. Stir in the chicken stock, tomato sauce, and diced tomato with chilies. Cover and simmer until liquid is mostly absorbed into the rice, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the beer and cover; cook another 5 minutes until the rice is tender. Season with salt, then mix in the corn, poblano, bell pepper, chicken, and andouille sausage. Return to a simmer, then turn off heat and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.

• onion
• olive oil
• butter
• black pepper

• paprika
• cumin
• garlic

Instructions

1. 1 Combine salt, granulated garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
2. 2 Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Sprinkle seasoning mix evenly over both sides of chicken thighs.
3. 3 Combine butter and olive oil in a deep-sided, 11-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook until butter is melted and foamy. Swirl the butter and oil together and place chicken thighs in the skillet in a single layer. Cook until just brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan with tongs and set aside. Keep warm.
4. 4 Reduce heat to medium and add onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rice and chili powder; cook and stir until rice begins to pick up some color, 3 to 5 minutes.
5. 5 Stir in drained tomatoes and garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add reserved tomato liquid, chicken broth, and water; bring to a boil. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
6. 6 Place browned chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture; do not submerge. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes.
7. 7 Remove cover, increase heat to medium, and gently stir in thawed peas. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve warm.
