Ingredients

  • 2 cups precooked, shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 buns

Instructions

  • Place shredded chicken in a medium saucepan. Pour sauce over the chicken and toss to coat. Cover with a lid and heat over medium-low heat until chicken is warmed through.
  • Place heated buffalo chicken on buns and top with your favorite toppings like ranch dressing and blue cheese crumbles.

Notes

  • You can crisp the buns in the oven for a few minutes under the broil setting for an extra crunchy texture.
  • If you like a saucy sandwich you can add extra after assembling.
  • The chicken filling with buffalo sauce can be assembled the night or the day before and heated just before assembling the sandwiches.
  • Easily double or triple this recipe when catering to a larger crowd. You could also make sliders with this buffalo chicken sandwich filling as a tasty party appetizer.
  • Brioche buns are my preferred choice for these saucy buffalo chicken sandwiches as they are sturdy buns that soak up liquids without falling apart.
