The bold buffalo flavor pairs wonderfully with crisp lettuce and tomatoes, all sandwiched between a toasted bun. This easy-to-make sandwich is ideal for lunch, dinner, or a game day treat, offering a satisfying balance of heat and creaminess in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing
- Lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, sliced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting buns)
Instructions:
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
- Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
- Grill the chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with extra buffalo sauce while grilling for added flavor.
- Toast the buns: While the chicken is grilling, melt the butter and brush it on the insides of the hamburger buns. Toast the buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread blue cheese or ranch dressing on the toasted buns. Place the grilled buffalo chicken breasts on the bottom buns and top with lettuce, tomato, and onion slices. Add the top bun and serve.
These Grilled Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches are spicy, flavorful, and perfect for any casual meal or gathering, delivering a delicious kick of buffalo goodness!
