Ingredients
FOR THE BUFFALO SAUCE
- ½ cup hot sauce Franks is very popular though I use Valentina HOT, louisiana style
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika - I use Hungarian paprika – smoked is great too
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic or more to taste
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ghost pepper flakes optional, or cayenne flakes
- 1 butter 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons, stick
FOR THE CHICKEN
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 chicken breast 8 ounces each, or use chicken thighs, medium, boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
FOR THE SANDWICHES
- 6 sandwich buns lightly toasted
- 2 jalapeno pepper sliced, roasted
- blue cheese crumbles
- blue cheese dressing optional, if desired, or ranch dressing
Instructions
FOR THE BUFFALO SAUCE
- 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.
- Set aside until ready to use.
FOR THE CHICKEN
- Season the chicken generously with your seasoning blend. I'm using paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat. Sear the seasoned chicken 5 minutes per side, then reduce heat to low. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of Buffalo sauce.
- Cover and simmer another 5 minutes, or until you reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Remove from heat and chop or shred the chicken.
ASSEMBLE THE SANDWICHES
- Smother with the remaining Buffalo sauce and serve on toasted buns.
- Garnish with jalapeno slices, blue cheese crumbles and blue cheese dip or ranch dip, if desired.
Notes
- Nutritional information estimated without the blue cheese or ranch dressing. Each sandwich would include 4-5 ounces of cooked chicken.
- The Sandwich Buns. Use your favorites here. We love larger French rolls that get nice and crusty when toasted, but are somewhat airy and a bit chewy with texture. Hoagie rolls are good, as are bolillo rolls, Italian bread or Cuban bread.
