Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, bones and skin removed
- Everglades Fish and Chicken Seasoning (or your favorite chicken seasoning)
- 1/4 red onion
- 1 Jalapeno pepper
- 10 oz bag of shredded vegetable slaw
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp local honey
- 16 oz bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo wing sauce; either reserve 3 ounces or have a second bottle on hand (for drizzling a little sauce later)
- Ranch dressing to taste
- Hot dog buns
- Himalayan pink salt (or Kosher salt) to taste
- Cracked black pepper to taste
Recipe Instructions
- Debone the chicken thighs and remove the skins.
- Slice chicken thigs into 3/4" to 1" strips.
- Apply the Everglades Fish and Chicken seasoning to all sides of the chicken.
- Preheat the pellet grill (I used the Grilla Pellet Grill) to 350 degrees F using hickory pellets.
- After the grill is heated, place the chicken strips on the pellet smoker for 20 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the slaw by dicing the red onion, then removing the membrance and seeds from the Jalapeno and slicing it.
- Add the mayo, sour cream, apple cider vinegar and honey to a bowl and mix well.
- Add in the vegetable slaw mix and the diced red onion. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
- Cover the slaw with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- After the chicken strips cook for 20 minutes and start getting some color, turn over and cook another 10 minutes.
- Pour the Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo wing sauce in a bowl and add the chicken strips to coat well.
- Place the chicken strips back on the pellet grill and cook 10 more minutes, so that the sauce can caramelize on the chicken.
- Turn the chicken strips over and cook approximately 5 to 10 minutes or more importatnly until the internal temp of the chicken thighs in 170 degrees F.
- Add some slaw to each hot dog bun, add the buffalo chicken strips, drizzle some more buffalo wing sauce, drizzle some ranch dressing and top with the sliced jalapenos.
- Serve and enjoy!
