Other Buffalo Chicken Sandwich Recipe Variations

• Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwich: Pound the chicken breasts out to an even thickness and pat the chicken very dry with paper towels. Create a breading station with flour, cornstarch, and seasonings in one bowl, and whisked egg and wing sauce in another. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and then the breadcrumbs. Set chicken aside6.
• Buffalo Chicken Panini Sandwich: The ingredients needed are olive oil, chicken breasts, cayenne hot sauce, blue cheese crumbles, green onions, sourdough bread, and Colby Jack cheese7.
• Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwich: Put the chicken in a slow cooker. Sprinkle ranch dressing mix on top, then pour in some buffalo sauce and add butter on top. Cook for 3-4 hours on low. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker, and use a pair of forks to shred it. Put the chicken back in the crockpot and add the rest of the buffalo sauce, then stir to combine4.
• Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with Shredded Chicken: Stir together all of the Buffalo sauce ingredients except the butter to a small pot and heat to low heat. Whisk in the butter a bit at a time until it is all incorporated and the sauce becomes smooth and thick. Season the chicken generously with your seasoning blend, such as paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and pepper5.

Tips for Success

• Adjust the spice: If worried about the spice for kids (or adults) who may not be able to handle the heat, it can be adjusted as needed. You can always use more or less of the hot sauce3.
• Use shredded chicken: If you’ve got leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken, feel free to shred it up and use it in this recipe instead of the ground chicken3.
• Make the chicken mixture ahead of time: Cooking the buffalo chicken mixture a day or two ahead and storing it in the fridge makes for a super easy dinner later in the week3!
