Buffalo Chicken and Roasted Potato Casserole image

This recipe was passed to me by a friend whose husband loved Buffalo wings and baked potatoes. I made it for the first time for my crew of boys and it was a big hit. Being a single working mom and short on time, I made some shortcuts to the recipe and to my surprise, it tasted even better.

SPICY BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES



Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 6 sandwiches, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup buffalo-style hot sauce, divided
6 hoagie rolls, split
1/3 cup refrigerated blue cheese dressing (or ranch dressing)
1/2 teaspoon creole seasoning
1 1/2 cups matchstick-cut carrots
1 1/2 cups diagonally sliced celery
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
12 large deli-fried chicken strips (about 1 1/4 pound)
1 (4 ounce) package crumbled blue cheese (or shredded parmesan or swiss cheese)
buffalo-style hot sauce (extra-optional)

Steps:

  • Stir together butter and 2 teaspoons hot sauce. Brush cut sides of rolls evenly with mixture. Place, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted.
  • Stir together blue cheese dressing, 2-3 teaspoons hot sauce, and Creole seasoning. Add carrots, celery, and if desired, onion; toss to coat.
  • Arrange chicken on bottom halves of rolls; drizzle evenly with remaining hot sauce.
  • Layer chicken evenly with carrot mixture and crumbled blue cheese.
  • Top with remaining roll halves. Serve with additional hot sauce, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh chicken. Fresh chicken will give your bake the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality buffalo sauce. The buffalo sauce is the key to this dish, so make sure you use a good one. Look for a sauce that is made with real cayenne pepper and has a good balance of heat and flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to add your own toppings. This recipe is a great base for customization. You can add your favorite toppings, such as blue cheese crumbles, celery, or carrots.
  • Serve with your favorite sides. This dish is great served with rice, mashed potatoes, or a side salad.
