Buffalo Ranch Hot Wings
Serves 4 to 6
3 pounds chicken drumettes
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cup water
buffalo ranch sauce, see recipe below
fresh chopped chives, for topping
Evenly distribute the salt on the chicken. Set aside.
Fill a sauce pan with an inch of water. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Place a silicone steamer basket into the pan. Fill the steamer basket with the drumettes. Place the lid onto the sauce pan. Steam for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken has reached 165 degrees.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. Place the wings on top of paper towels and place into the fridge for 1 to 2 hours.
When ready to cook, heat an oven to 425 degrees.
Place 3 tablespoons of buffalo ranch sauce into a large mixing bowl. Place the chilled wings into the mixing bowl and toss to coat. If the wings appear to be dry, add a few more tablespoons of buffalo ranch sauce.
Place the tossed wings on to a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the outside of the wings are crispy.
Meanwhile add 3 to 4 additional tablespoons of buffalo ranch sauce into a new mixing bowl. Set aside. Remove the wings from the oven, and place back into the mixing bowl. Toss to coat well. Serve warm topped with chopped fresh chives.

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons shallots, finally chopped

Place the hot sauce, butter, honey and salt into a small saucepan. Cook over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Remove the sauce from heat and add the shallots, chives, garlic and buttermilk. Stir well. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Pimento Cheese Fritters
makes about 30
Author note: These fritters are freezer friendly. Once they have cooled, place into a freezer safe container. Reheat in the oven. To guarantee the temperature of the frying oil, use a kitchen thermometer.
1 pound Market Street’s pimento cheese, chilled
flour
4 eggs, whisked
panko breadcrumbs
vegetable oil
With a small ice cream scoop, scoop out the chilled pimento cheese and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Roll the pimento cheese into a ball and then dredge in flour. Place back onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Continue until all the pimento cheese is gone.
Dredge the pimento cheese balls into the whisked eggs and then the panko breadcrumbs. Set back onto the parchment paper. Place into the freezer and chill for 30 minutes.
Fill a saucepan with 1 inch of vegetable oil. Over medium heat bring the oil to 375 degrees. Fry the fritters until golden, turning frequently to prevent burning, about 1 minute total. Place onto a paper towel to drain. Serve immediately.
