Today’s Menu: Buffalo Chicken Nachos Grande and Baked Smokey BBQ Chicken Wings

 
Another morning in the teens this morning but it got in the 40’s and sunny today so that wasn’t bad. Mom and Dad meet friends for a Brunch and I didn’t have much of an appetite so for dinner tonight it was a couple of Chicken Appetizers, Buffalo Chicken Nachos Grande and Baked Smokey BBQ Chicken Wings.

 

 
I went to Walmart and picked up an Rottissierie Chicken to make the Nachos and also picked up a bag of the Tyson Smokey BBO Chicken Wings. Made these Buffalo Chicken Nachos Grande for the first time last week and was looking forward to make some more of them! These are some of the best Nachos I’ve made. The recipe calls for 4 cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken, 3/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce, 1 bag (18 oz) restaurant-style tortilla chips, 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (12 oz), 1/2 cup finely chopped celery, and 1 cup crumbled blue cheese (4 oz). Sort of sounds like Buffalo Wings. I used a Walmart Rotisserie Chicken, Kroger Brand Medium Wing Sauce, Mission Round Tortiia, Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Mozzarella, I was out of Celery so I didn’t add any, and Mayfield Crumbled Bleu Cheese. I think chopped Celery or maybe even chopped Green Onions would both work. Even add a Jalapeno Pepper on top for added heat.

 

To prepare them just Heat your oven to 350°F. and in large bowl, toss chicken and 1/2 cup of the wing sauce to coat. Spray two large (14-inch) pizza pans with cooking spray. Arrange half of the tortilla chips on one pizza pan; top with 2 cups of the chicken and 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat on second pizza pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top each pan with celery and blue cheese; drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup wing sauce. To serve; slide one pan of nachos off onto other pan to make one large mound of nachos. I only made 1 pan of them instead of two. This has quickly become a family favorite!

 

 

 

For the Wings I used Tyson Smoky BBQ Wings. Second time we’ve had the Smokey Bbq Wings, We had tried two other of the Tyson Wings which were both good. To prepare them I just followed the instructions on the bag. Preheated the oven to 450°F. Then lined a rimmed baking sheet with foil and sprayed with non-stick spray. Placed the frozen chicken wing sections on a pan in a single layer. Then baked the on upper rack for 35 – 38 minutes, until the juices ran clear when thickest part of the chicken temperature read 180°F. on an instant thermometer. After preparing the Tyson Wings several times I have found out to keep them from sticking spray both sides of the Wings with a light coat of Pam Spray. The Wings came out perfect! They crisped up nice and had and excellent Smokey BBQ flavor, and all are above normal size Wings! I had a side of Litehouse Lite Bleu Cheese Dressing and Dip for the Wings. Nice change of pace to have appetizers for dinner. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
