SPICY BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES
From Southern Living May 2009 Special "Movie Night" Section, these sandwiches were rated "mild" by the test staff for heat level. Let guests add more hot sauce to taste. I like the inclusion of crispy carrots and celery to this sandwich -- a good way to get some extra veggies! This recipe includes the usual blue cheese dressing, which I personally do not like, so I would substitute ranch dressing, and shredded parmesan or swiss cheese for the blue cheese crumbles. You can also used grilled or roasted chicken strips to avoid the 'fried stuff' -- still delicious.

Steps:
- 1. In the insert of a 5- to 7-quart slow cooker, combine the butter, oil, and hot sauce. Add the chicken to the sauce, turning it in the sauce to coat; you may have to stack the chicken in the cooker.

Return to the sauce and serve on the warm setting with rolls, butter lettuce leaves, and Blue Cheese Dressing
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked properly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken in the flour mixture.
- To make the buffalo sauce, you can use your favorite store-bought brand or make your own by combining melted butter, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
- If you want a milder buffalo sauce, reduce the amount of hot sauce or use a milder variety.
- Serve the buffalo chicken sandwiches with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
