CAPRESE SKEWERS

Skewer cherry tomatoes, basil, and buffalo mozzarella. Repeat for as large as you want to make them. Lightly drizzle olive oil and add fresh cracked black pepper. I like to have a reduced balsamic, but regular balsamic will also do the trick.

FRUIT SKEWERS

Take your favorite seasonal fruits and make skewers.

HOT FRESH ROLLS

Buy, thaw, and bake rolls. Lay out in seasoned baking pan about 2-3 inches apart. Proof in oven (oven is COLD) using oven as proofing box. This is if you don't have a proofing box.  Bake as directed. If you don't want to cook rolls just purchase your favorite dinner roll.

BBQ CHICKEN SLIDERS

Buy skinless boneless chicken breast. If it is large, you can cut 3 sliders per breast. If smaller, just cut into 2 before cooking. Take cut chicken and put it in chaffer cooking pan, season with salt and pepper. Top it with your favorite BBQ sauce until chicken is totally covered. Bake the chicken covered for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Using caution, remove cover. (Have grill hot and ready) Take cooked chicken to grill to mark chicken and add grill flavor. (Last step is optional)

RANCH CHICKEN SLIDERS

Buy skinless boneless chicken breast. If it is large, you can cut 3 sliders per breast.  If smaller, just cut into 2 before cooking. Take cut chicken and put in chaffer cooking pan, season with salt and pepper. Top it with your favorite Ranch dressing until chicken is totally covered. Bake the chicken covered for 20 minutes or internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Using caution, remove cover. (Have grill hot and ready) Take cooked chicken to grill to mark chicken and add grill flavor. (Last step is optional)

ZESTY ITALIAN CHICKEN SLIDERS

Buy skinless boneless chicken breast. If it is large, you can cut 3 sliders per breast.  If smaller, just cut into 2 before cooking. Take cut chicken and put in chaffer cooking pan, season with salt and pepper. Top it with your favorite Italian dressing until chicken is totally covered.  Bake the chicken covered for 20 minutes or internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Using caution, remove cover. (Have grill hot and ready) Take cooked chicken to grill to mark chicken and add grill flavor. (Last step is optional)

Serve sliders from Chaffer dish with rolls stacked in as creatively as you want, remember that if you go too high, they will probably end up on the floor. (Baskets work really well) I always leave dishes of different sauces and shredded cabbage close by.

SKINS

This is the most affordable party snack. Get a bag of bakers. Clean them and place them on a cooking sheet.  You want to yield 2 skins per potato. Bake your potato until cooked completely. (350 for about 1 hour) Then let cool. When the potatoes are cool to the touch, cut potato into thirds the long way, keeping the two end pieces.  The leftover center pieces and hollowed potato are good for mash or potato salads. Take shelled potato and brush with butter.  Bake at 450 degrees, face down, until crispy. (If you have a deep fryer, fry until crispy)

TRADITIONAL SKINS

Stuff skin with cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles, and bake until cheese is melted, add chives serve with sour cream or ranch.

MEXI SKINS

Stuff skin with a cheddar cheese and bake until cheese is melted.  Add crushed tortilla chips and black olives.  Serve with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

GREEK SKINS

Greek Skins: Stuff skin with feta cheese and bake until cheese is melted. Top with black olives, basil, and oregano.

ITALIAN SKINS

Stuff skin with mozzarella, pepperoni, and sausage.  Bake until cheese is melted. (Precook sausage before baking)
