Is it my imagination, or do buffalo wings taste like chicken?
Virgin Buffalo Wings a.k.a. Grilled Celery
8 Stalks of Celery
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Tabasco + additional to taste
1/2 Tsp Kosher Salt
1/4 Tsp Pepper
2oz Crumbled Blue Cheese
Wash, trim and pat dry the celery. Add along with everything but the blue cheese to a zip top bag. Shake to coat and place in the fridge until it is time to grill. This will give the celery a chance to soak up some of the Tabasco flavor. A half hour to an hour should do nicely.
Get your grill going and find the hot zone. The goal is to get a nice bit of sear on each stalk without overcooking it. Your want enough crisp left that it will hold the blue cheese. This should only take 1 to 3 minutes per side over hot coals.
Remove from the grill once you have a nice char. Top with the crumbled blue cheese and a dash or two of Tabasco.
