Let’s talk lunch. Whenever I’m at work my go to lunches are leftovers, a sandwich, a yogurt, school lunch, or a microwaveable meal. I only get 30 minutes on my lunch break and I’d say at least once a week I have to spend it with a student either as a reward or because they are having difficulties. So when the weekend comes I like to enjoy my lunch and have something a bit different.

Make a delicious Buffalo Chicken Sandwich at home by pan frying, finishing off in the oven, and tossing with a delicious buffalo sauce

If I go out to eat on the weekends my typical lunch is either a grilled chicken salad with fries or a buffalo chicken salad or sub. While I love both of these they are a little pricey if I buy them when I am out. I often make grilled chicken salads with fries when I’m at home but I rarely make a buffalo chicken sandwich because they are just so good at the restaurants I go to.

Pan fry these tasty Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

However, since I’m all about saving money and making things myself I thought I better try and find a buffalo chicken recipe that I really liked. Since I don’t have a deep fryer that really isn’t an option for me. That means if I make buffalo chicken it either has to be pan fried or in the oven.

After some trial and error I found the best combination for the breading. It’s one that sticks to the chicken and can be coated in buffalo sauce. I also found that a combination of pan frying the chicken then finishing it up in the oven is the best way to make the chicken crispy without deep frying.

Just three steps to making the Ultimate Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

This buffalo chicken sandwich was really good. I used a firm Kaiser roll for the base of it because I knew it would hold up to the saucy chicken. The chicken was spicy from the buffalo sauce and cooked perfectly. I added some cheese and lettuce and it was finished! This is definitely a great way to enjoy a buffalo chicken sandwich at home without a deep fryer.
