If a plate loaded with cheesy, spicy buffalo chicken nachos is not game day heaven, then we don't know what is. Bound to keep any crowd happy and have them coming back for seconds!
A very creative (and surprisingly easy!) recipe by Rick Schultz of Cocktails and Q - this guy knows his stuff. Thank you Rick for sharing with everyone!
Making the perfect game day snack is an art in itself - and one should savor the journey as much as the destination. That's easy to do here - only a handful of ingredients, and barely as many steps before you can get your fingers dirty...
You can easily make these in your kitchen, or go all out and use a deep fryer (if you're doing bigger batches, this might be a good option). Either way, bring some olive oil up to 350ºF (177ºC).
Let's get the nachos out of the way first. Cut your corn tortillas in half, and fry until golden brown and crispy. That easy! Why would you ever use store bought chips? (Just kidding - you do whatever you like).
Next up, add the breaded chicken strips to the oil and let them go till they're cooked all the way through. Bring them off the heat, and let them cool down. When it's safe to do so, cut into bite-sized pieces.
Time to give these babies some punch! Add the chicken to a bowl, and add the Buffalo Hot Wing sauce. Toss to coat. These bites should be looking (and smelling) amazing by now.
Only thing that's left to do is build the nachos! In an oven-safe tray, cover each tortilla (or chip) with beans, cheese, Jalapenos, and some of the coated buffalo wing pieces.
Now place the tray in the oven, and let it go at 375ºF (191ºC) until the cheese is melted and bubbly.When ready, remove from the oven and add Ranch dressing to your preference.
Enjoy!

This Creamed Corn takes sweet corn and turns it into a rich, creamy side dish packed with buttery flavor and a savory kick from Kosmos Q Double Pepper Cow Cover. Fresh or frozen corn simmers in heavy cream, cream cheese, and butter before getting finished with Parmesan for an extra layer of cheesy goodness.
This Fire Roasted Salsa Verde takes fresh tomatillos, jalapeños, poblanos, onion, and garlic and turns them into a smoky, flavor-packed salsa that's perfect for just about anything. Everything gets tossed with olive oil and Kosmos Q Garlic Jalapeño Rub, then roasted over high heat until blistered, tender, and lightly charred.
This Patty Melt takes juicy, seasoned ground beef and turns it into a classic griddled sandwich loaded with melted cheese, sweet caramelized onions, and crispy, buttery bread. Every bite brings together savory beef, creamy mayonnaise, and the rich combination of Swiss and cheddar cheese.
Everyone wishes that they could have award-winning competition BBQ at their backyard barbecue parties. With Kosmo's BBQ, that's exactly what you'll have, every time.
