This spicy buffalo chicken sandwich is definitely like no other. Precooked crispy chicken smothered in buffalo sauce, served on a brioche bun, topped with romaine lettuce, pickles and tomatoes is a must-try for those busy nights.
20 Minute Buffalo Chicken Sandwich (Easy Weeknight Dinner Idea)
Everywhere you look these days it seems that every restaurant and fast food restaurant alike are busy creating their own versions of the spicy/buffalo chicken sandwich.
and I must say, I have tried a lot of them.
As fun as they are to try, I really wanted to make something at home that would be a whole lot cheaper but still really easy to make when I was needing a really quick dinner idea.
I recently discovered the Tyson Air Fried Chicken Cutlets and I was really surprised with how good they tasted. They were a perfect size, had a great crunch, and were flat enough to make a quick and easy chicken sandwich out of them without being a wobbly mess.
I also want to mention that recipes like these are my absolute favorite because of how simple and quick they are. Honestly, there really isn’t a recipe to it you can just add whatever sauces, cheeses, and toppings you like to create a new flavor every time.
I love making this on a night where I would normally be tempted to eat out.
