Easy and delicious.
Great and easy
Cook the chicken only 5 minutes per side on the skillet? You have to be kidding me! If you follow that advice you’ll have raw chicken. Not only that but olive oil has a low smoking point so you’ll probably have smoke. My advice is to grill or bake the chicken. I’m not sure how this recipe is successful when this lady tells people to pan fry the chicken for five mins each side.
This recipe is great! Made it for Super Bowl last Sunday and it was a big hit! I tried making another buffalo chicken sandwich recipe first, but it was a disaster. Thankfully I found this recipe and was able to put it together in the last minute easily. Thanks Rachael… you are a life saver!!
This was a great lunch. I will definitely making it again.
Delicious, highly recommend. Full of flavor. I made these for my boyfriend and his friends while they watched NFL football – all of them loved it! The only changes I made was that i made them into sliders (cut the chicken breasts in half and mini used slider buns I also used greek yogurt instead of sour cream to make the blue cheese sauce and it was still a hit. We topped with Avocado and butter lettuce. I was told to “make this every weekend” for football snacks. I am definitely keeping this recipe and will make many times again.
I have been making this dish ever since I saw it on television years ago. I love it and so does everyone I’ve ever made it for!!! Franks Red Hot is the best sauce! I love the blue cheese mixed with the sour cream however my boyfriend is not partial to blue cheese, so I leave it out on his. He adds ranch dressing to his sandwich instead. I love the way the recipe has it. Its very easy to make and tastes amazing. I crave this dish!!!
The chicken was very good but im not a fan of the blue cheese instead i added chipotle and some mayo and tomatoe and ranch and it was amazing highly recommend the chicken part.
This is fantastic, I make this recipe once a month. For my children I just cook the chicken with the spices and don’t add the sauce at the end. For the adults in my family, I finish cooking the chicken with the hot sauce and butter to help infuse the flavor a bit. I don’t bother with making the sandwiches, just cut the chicken up and make it into boneless wings with a side of celery and carrots.
PERFECT!! Everyone in the family (from my picky husband to my 4 year old loved this recipe. This is going into our dinner rotation. I never knew Buffalo Chicken was so easy and I’m kind of mad at myself for not trying this sooner!
