This is the greatest buffalo chicken recipe on the internet that I have seen thus far. What makes this recipe somewhat stronger than many others is that it calls for the chicken tenders to be coated twice in buffalo wing sauce: once before frying them, and once after frying them; both times with the other necessary coatings along the way. The first step that’s given is actually somewhat standard for almost all buffalo chicken recipes, in that the chicken strips are given an egg coating (with buttermilk added, in this case) and then a flour coating, and dipped in buffalo wing sauce; each piece is set aside, and then dipped in each item all over again; after that (as this particular recipe calls for), they are fried, and thereafter after drenched in buffalo sauce even another time. The notion that the chicken is given a extra coating of each item (flour, egg, and most importantly, buffalo hot sauce) may at first seem like a good deal of extra work to accomplish, but as anyone who’s ever made buffalo chicken will tell you, this way of making it is actually far more user friendly, as it assures that since everything is done multiple times there’s less chance that anything may not come out exactly as you would like, since every item is completed very thoroughly -- so nothing can be missed the along the way. This is not always true with some other recipes, many of which are very similar but often times simply do not produce as strong as a result. That’s why especially if you’re making buffalo chicken for the first time this recipe is second to none, and perfect to try if this is exactly the flavor you’re looking for.

When I was young I used to eat shark meat all the time. While it was always excellently prepared, it was specifically also bought at the local grocery store, which, at the time anyway, always seemed to stock shark meat as par for the course along with all the other fish selections one would expect a local grocery stores seafood section to provide – such as (for example) haddock, swordfish, salmon, flounder, and tilapia (etc.). But while that was true when I was younger, over time, I saw shark meat available at grocery stores much less often (if at all anymore), which is a shame, since shark meat has a very excellent taste very much like swordfish (but with a distinctively more “salty” flavor). That’s why I was delighted to see this recipe available from bostonchefs.com, which shows how to successfully prepare shark tacos, clearly clever a play on popular fish taco recipes. While it’s not as widely available as it used to be, if you can successfully find shark meat available in your area – consider giving this one a try. As a side note, shark meat also works very well for fish and chips, and we have a recipe for that below as well if anyone is interested in trying to prepare it that way.

These days, it seems like “chipotle” flavor is available everywhere, across a wide range of items, not to mention the restaurant chain that goes entirely by that name, but what about those of us who want to take it to the very next level, and experience “chipotle maple” flavor? How does one even think about making that? It’s easier than you think, since “chipotle maple” is just standard “chipotle” flavoring with maple syrup added – perfect for hot wings. And that’s exactly the recipe we have listed here, with instructions on how to make your very own “chipotle maple” flavored wings. Check out the recipe and enjoy.

There are a lot of recipes for buffalo chicken out there. There are actually also some even for buffalo burgers and other similar fare – but have you ever tried a buffalo cheese steak sandwich? Believe it or not, there are quite a few good recipes that can be used to make exactly this, and while some try to employ the classic chicken (not necessarily a bad option) instead of shaved beef steak, if it’s the original idea of a shaved beef steak buffalo sandwich (specifically) that you’re after, then don’t worry, Franks Reds Hot Sauce company has you covered with an excellent recipe they’ve posted on their website. While theirs uses Frank’s buffalo wing sauce rather than their traditional classic red hot sauce, if this is the dish you’re after, then it’s Franks that tops our pick for the best recipe. Try adding ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for even more authentic flavor.

Recently I just did a post about making fish and chips in an air fryer.  The fact of the matter is you can totally do this, and I thought at the time that everyone might have thought that I wrote that whole thing because doing that in an air fryer (rather than a real deep fat fryer) is way healthier.  While it is in fact healthier, I wrote the post for a different reason -- because it's also way easier.  It is easier to purchase an air fryer and place it in your house rather than a real deep fat fryer, that's why I like them, they just so happen to be healthier, but for me it's about space, not health.

So, did you know you can also make cheeseburgers in an air fryer?  You can do that as well, and the article below shows you how to totally make air fried cheeseburgers.

This is an interesting one for sure -- think about it, at how many different pizza places have you seen "Pesto Pizza"?  In theory, at least from a basic recipe standpoint, that should be a somewhat straightforward idea, at least from a recipe sense, but "Pesto Pizza" is not something that's typically "done." However, food.com appears to have you covered; so here's a recipe for it:

At first glance, this post may seem to be specifically about "healthy eating" -- it is about making fish and chips in an air fryer after all (by the way, if you don't know what that is, just click the link at left).  However, the simple fact of the matter is, beyond being "healthier" if you're making fish and chips at home, then it's just easier and more straightforward to use an air fryer, beyond just the health aspects.  To see how to do it, click the link below:
