[@YourBeingParanoid]

Oven cook the thighs and deglaze all that sticky fond with a touch of water and the hot sauce. Over crisp the skin, crumble and add it back to the mixture along with more melted butter. Once potted, top with melted butter to seal before putting the lid on - like a potted shrimp recipe would do, to preserve the contents for longer.

[@alecnolastname4362]

I must point out that you are wrong, as it is called confit de canard. Please, leave your imgur/reddit writing style where you found it.

[@JakeLovesSteak]

@@bob-ny6kn I must point out that you're an idiot. _Confit de canard_ (or "duck confit" for the slightly less pretentious) has absolutely nothing to do with this "jarred chicken wings" recipe. For one thing, ducks and chickens are different animals. For another thing, the cooking and serving methods of the two dishes are completely different. It was probably too harsh for me to call you an idiot, but your argument is completely incorrect.

I have made many of your recipes, but this drew the loudest praise from the dinner party. The only thing I did different, as you suggested, is I carefully removed the skin after the thighs were done cooking and deep fried them to golden perfection and mixed them into the dip just before service...they were so good. Thank you for the great recipe.

honestly this is easy to warm up even when you don't want to microwave it. if it's an air tight seal you can submerge it into some warm water to slowly bring up to temp and then server piping hot if you so chose.

I used this as inspiration! About two years I tripled the recipe and used it as a spreadable chicken sandwich for some buddies and I. I used toasted sourdough as the bread. I've been asked to make this a few times now!

[@serendipityshopnyc]

Take the leftover soft chicken (or turkey) skin and crisp it to golden brown in a low metal dish or pan in the toaster oven at 300F or so. Comes out almost like bacon, well worth the effort.

[@ryangriffithbass]

You're killing me, Chef John! As a western New Yorker you KNOW Frank's is the original and only hot sauce to use for Buffalo wings! Although I use Crystal a lot too, it's a great sauce. But seriously, awesome recipe, and awesome (and apropos) nod to Buffalo with the Jim Kelly line.

[@monicahamm3353]

I made this tonight. I made a "mistake" in that half way the 90 minute simmer, I flipped the chicken over, and the skin then proceeded to stick to the pan. And I ended up putting alot more than 1/4 cup of Frank's Buffalo Sauce in the mix. just saying. But, when I was done..... freakishly delicious. It makes two 8 oz. ball jars worth of potted chicken. I wish I had had two more 8 oz. jars, but I used them up making Chef John's amazing Duck Rillettes recipe. So it went in a 16 oz. ball jar instead. Merry Christmas!

[@1VampieNight]

I need blue cheese butter in my life immediately!!!

[@fermentedbadger5717]

Blue Cheese Butter?!? Baked onto Crustini? I think you just gave me an idea for some really awesome salad croutons.

[@HopALongSassidy]

I made these for The Super Bowl and they were a big hit. I set up platters with a variety of mild to spicy hot pepper sauces so that everyone could adjust the hotness to their liking. I really liked the tidiness of this dish as opposed to messy regular hot wings. I will definitely do this again on game days. Great idea Chef John.

[@kurtisburtis]

I saw this and thought, “looks like spicy rillettes de Périgord ...” Glad to see Chef has got me covered. 😁

[@moev29]

I’m gonna say it. There is a missed opportunity for a garlic sprinkle on the crostini pre-cheese spread for a little something thing extra 😋

For anyone who can’t tolerate spicy but loves the taste, try Moore’s (no, not related or affiliated) mild buffalo blue cheese, or regular mild buffalo sauce. It’s mild but sooo flavorful. I use it on regular bbq wings as a dipping sauce too. There’s a few excellent mild buffalo sauces out there.

I have a recipe where you mix in blue cheese dressing to the chicken and hot sauce mixture, pop it all in a baking dish and sprinkle it with cheddar cheese then bake. I serve it with celery sticks and crostini. It's soooo good. I'll have to try it this way, too.
