Supplies
Sandwich Ingredients:
* Chicken Breasts
* Seeded Hamburger Buns
* Mayo
* Cornstarch
* Salt
* Pepper
* Onion Powder
* Garlic Powder
* Bleu Cheese
* Vegetable Oil
Buffalo Sauce:
* Crystal Hot Sauce
* Unsalted Butter
* Worcestershire
* White Vinegar
* Garlic Salt
Step 1: Light the Grill
Since prepping the chicken and making the sauce will not take much time, start off with lighting your grill.
Step 2: Make the Buffalo Sauce
For this sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter
* 3/4 cup Crystal hot sauce
* 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
* 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce (we prefer Lea & Perrins)
* 1 1/2 tablespoons of white vinegar
Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Occasionally whisk the ingredients. Once the butter has melted and the sauce begins bubbling around the edge of the saucepan, remove it from the heat.
This buffalo sauce is so easy to make and is full of flavor! We put this sauce on our chicken wings, potato hash, and basically anything else that we want to add some heat to!
Step 3: Cut the Chicken
We used boneless, skinless chicken breasts for our sandwich. Trim the fat off of the chicken, and then butterfly the chicken breast. The particular piece we had was pretty long, so we opted to cut the chicken once more, leaving 4 smaller pieces.
Step 4: Prepare Chicken for the Grill
Place your cut pieces of chicken into a bowl. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Add cornstarch to the bowl along with a splash of vegetable oil. 405
We don't use specific measurements when seasoning the chicken, since each chicken breast varies in size and thickness. The final photo should be what your chicken looks like once coated with the cornstarch and oil.
Step 5: Grill the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts on the grill, turning them over once one side gets crispy. Once the chicken is fully cooked and crispy, remove the chicken from the grill. You can use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure that it is fully cooked.
Step 6: Grill the Buns
We prefer using seeded buns for our buffalo sandwiches. Spread mayo (or butter if you prefer) on both sides of the buns, and place them on the grill.
Step 7: Assemble Your Sandwich
Now that everything is off the grill, it's time to assemble! Take each piece of chicken, and dip it into the buffalo sauce. Crumble some fresh bleu cheese to top the chicken. We held off putting mayo on the buns since we already put some on when grilling them.
Step 8: Get to Eating!
