Jalapeno Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich Recipe 455

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl using a rubber spatula, stir the cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the heavy cream, shredded chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, onion powder, black pepper, and Frank's® RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce until fully incorporated.
• Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Arrange the jalapeño halves, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet and divide the chicken mixture evenly among the halves. Sprinkle the bacon on top.
• In a small bowl, stir together the panko bread crumbs and olive oil until the panko is evenly coated. Sprinkle over the jalapeños.
• Bake the jalapeño poppers for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese on top. Drizzle with more Frank's® RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce. Serve immediately with blue cheese or creamy ranch dip.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a shallow bowl. Cover with the buttermilk, turning to coat. Combine the ranch dressing and blue cheese in a small bowl and refrigerate. On a large plate, stir together the flour and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pour the Buffalo sauce into a shallow bowl. Line a large plate with a few layers of paper towels.
• Add enough vegetable oil to a large skillet to come halfway up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350˚ F. Working in batches, remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then coat in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and fry until dark golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• As soon as the chicken is cool enough to handle, dip in the Buffalo sauce, coating it entirely. Place each chicken cutlet on a bun bottom and top with coleslaw and cucumber. Spread the bun tops with the blue cheese mixture and close the sandwiches. Serve with potato chips.

Steps:

• Bake bacon on 400 degree heat until crisp (10-15 minutes). After starting bacon, prep the chicken. Bread the chicken by covering with raw egg, and then coating flour. Repeat process to ensure chicken is coated thoroughly. Cook the chicken in medium sized sauce pan on high heat. The pan should be completely coated with oil maybe an eighth or quarter inch deep. Cook chicken until both sides are golden brown. When the chicken is done, toss chicken with Franks Buffalo Sauce. The chicken should be generously covered. To Prep the Sandwich, I put it in this order: 1) Bottom Bun 2) Blue Cheese Crumbles 3) Ranch Dressing 4) Sliced Jalapenos 5) Bacon Strips 6) Buffalo Chicken (cover the chicken lightly with Buffalo Sauce when on sandwich too) 7) Lettuce 8) Onion 9 Top bun (with more blue cheese on that) I usually low broil the two pieces of the bread insides up, with blue cheese on both sides to melt it a little.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together chicken, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, celery, onion and garlic powder. Add salt and pepper as needed.
• Serve on buns and top with your favorite sandwich fixings (such as tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, pickles, etc).
• Store leftovers (if you have any!) in a covered container in the fridge.
