"It was Jenn Day, my chef de cuisine at the now-defunct Gourmet magazine, who came up with the basic concept for this little gem while I was working on a cookbook: Buffalo chicken wings represented by cubed chicken breasts sautéed in butter, then tossed with hot sauce and pasta. But I already had enough pasta recipes in that chapter, so I used rice instead, which also teams up beautifully with chicken, blue cheese and hot sauce."
"In keeping with the chapter's five-ingredient maximum, I use the rice cooking water as the liquid in this recipe. And it's plenty flavorful that way. But, if you wanted to substitute chicken stock for the water, which bumps the number of ingredients to six, well, just remember you're always alone in the kitchen." —Sara Moulton, star of "Sara's Weeknight Meals"
