Although they originated in Eastern Europe, kolaches have become a Texas tradition too; the sweet pastries sometimes go savory, as in this easy, wings-inspired game day snack that uses prepared biscuit dough as the base. It’s wrapped up around shredded chicken in buffalo hot sauce, then baked until golden and crisp, and served with a quick, homemade buttermilk blue cheese sauce for dipping. You don’t have to be from Dallas (or even a Cowboys fan) to fall for these, but if you are, it might make you love them even more. For more team-inspired snacks, get our New England Clam Chowder Bites recipe and our Kielbasa-Cheddar Garbage Bread recipe too.

Tips for Chicken

Tip

How to Store Chicken

Raw or cooked chicken can be stored in a refrigerator for a few days, though it’s important to prevent raw chicken juices from leaking and contaminating other foods. Ensure that chicken remains in its original packaging (which should be vacuum-sealed or tightly-wrapped) until it is ready to be cooked.

How to Freeze Chicken

While freezing will make your chicken less tender and juicy, it is the perfect way to store the family-sized pack you bought at Costco last weekend. Remove the chicken from its original packaging and rewrap it tightly using aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or freezer paper. Double wrap if you are planning to store the chicken for more than two months. Ground chicken can last up to three months in the freezer, while chicken pieces can last up to nine.

Tip

How to Thaw Chicken

You should never thaw chicken at room temperature, as it is highly susceptible to bacteria growth. Frozen chicken should either be thawed in the microwave, in the refrigerator, or in cold water (which should be changed every 30 minutes).

Instructions

1Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2In a small saucepan, cook 3 tablespoons butter, hot sauce, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon salt over low heat, whisking until the butter is melted and fully incorporated. Toss hot sauce mixture with shredded chicken.
3On a work surface, flatten each biscuit round to about 1/4-inch thickness. Top each round of dough with about 1 tablespoon chicken mixture, cheese, and minced celery. Pinch the edges together to create a ball.
4Place the balls seam side-down on the baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chives.
5Bake until the tops of biscuits are golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
6While kolaches bake, whisk sour cream, buttermilk, blue cheese, pepper, remaining 1 tablespoon chives, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Serve kolaches with dip.

A Sushi Master Shares His 5 Must-Have Kitchen Tools

(07:28)

Video from Kitchen Essentials

In this episode of Kitchen Essentials, we visit sushi master Nozomu Abe at his celebrated omakase restaurant, Sushi Noz in NYC. Noz has been perfecting his craft for over 20 years, and it shows in his obsessive attention to detail when it comes to his food and the exclusive dinner experiences he offers. At Sushi Noz you will find Edomae sushi, a style that focuses on the treatment of ingredients through preservation of the fish, and a particular preparation of the rice. These processes are all part of the performance Abe puts on for his diners at his counter every night. When it comes to his favorite tools, he shows us both his prep and counter knives; His binchōtan coals and gril,l which he brings out to show customers how he sears and smokes delicate morsels of tuna or eel. After that he talks to us about the most important element of sushi, and the tool that is essential for him to make it: the rice and his traditional hagama. Setting the stage for his performance, is a space carefully curated to look, smell and feel like a traditional omakase in Japan, complete with a traditional hinoki refrigerator that he specifically commissioned for the restaurant, and a beautiful collection of Japanese ceramics both old and new, that lend the final touches to this unique food experience.
