Last "Fun Sandwich Friday" my husband and I were on a mission to have something with buffalo sauce, but it was way too nice out to sit in a restaurant - so we decided to make our own Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Sandwiches!!
First we started with seasoning boneless, skinless chicken breasts with just a little salt, pepper and olive oil.
Next we set up our dredging station. Most recipes call for egg and flour, but since we were out, we went with seasoned bread crumbs - a perfect swap! Then we fried (yes, fried) the chicken about 75% of the way to get a nice golden crust and popped them in the oven at 425F for another 5-6 min, or until all the pink is gone.
While the chicken was finishing in the oven we made our own buffalo sauce. Its super simple! Just 1 cup of Franks Hot Sauce and 2 tbsp of butter. Let it warm together to get nice and thick.
Once the sauce is done, coat the chicken in the delicious sauce.
And of course, you cannot forget your sandwich "accessories"!! Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, cheese, etc...whatever your little heart desires!
Stack your sandwich nice and high on one of our burger buns - and don't forget a good amount of creamy, cool blue cheese!
And there you have it - an amazing at home version of your local pub favorite. A great switch up to any summer BBQ!
