Chicken a la Buffalo

This is my attempt at satisfying a craving for Don Henrico's Buffalo Chicken Wings. It's a teeny bit close but not all there. There are a couple of spices that I can't identify from their recipe so this is the best that I could get. I think the key is making sure that each bit contains the right amount of the chicken, the barbecue sauce and then the dipping sauce. Modesty aside, it's almost as satisfying as the original.

INGREDIENTS


Barbecue sauce:
Honey
Ketchup
Soy Sauce
Garlic powder
Nutmeg
I also put in a bit of onion powder and ginger powder but I think they could just be eliminated from the list.



Chicken + marinade:
Chicken pieces (wings, thigh or breast -- with skin!)
All-purpose flour
Olive oil
S&P
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Ginger powder

Dipping sauce:
Plain yogurt
Mayonnaise
Cream cheese
Garlic
S&P


DIRECTIONS:


1. Prepare sauces and set aside


Barbecue sauce: combine equal parts of honey and ketchup and add soy sauce just enough to achieve the color desired. Add lots of garlic powder and powdered nutmeg to taste. 


Dipping sauce: combine 2 parts yogurt with 1 part mayo and 1 part cream cheese and then add your garlic and S&P to taste.

2. Prepare the chicken by rinsing the pieces and patting them dry with a paper towel. 

3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

4. Combine some garlic powder, onion powder and ginger powder (ratio is about 2:1:1).

5. Sprinkle about half of the powdered spices onto the chicken. Add some of your barbecue sauce to this marinade.

6. Combine the rest of the powdered spices with all-purpose flour to use for coating the chicken.

7. Dip each chicken piece into the flour mix and coat them well.

8. Place each chicken piece into a lightly oiled baking pan and set aside for about an hour.

9. Preheat oven to 400F.

10. When ready, brush each chicken piece with olive oil and place the chicken into the oven. 

11. Bake for 30 minutes, after which brush some barbecue sauce onto the chicken and then bake for another 20-25 minutes.

12. Brush more barbecue sauce onto the chicken after taking it out of the oven.

Serve with the dipping sauce. Doesn't even need rice to go with it.
