Super Bowl Buffalo Wing Stuffed Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice about 2 inches deep through the top of the bread and continue to cut a large rectangle, being careful not to cut through the bottom of the bread. Remove top of bread and hollow out middle to create a rectangular bread bowl. Set aside.
• Whisk together cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, hot sauce, ranch seasoning, salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder in a bowl until well combined. Stir in blue cheese, 3/4 cup Cheddar and 3/4 cup mozzarella, followed by chicken.
• Spoon Buffalo chicken dip into prepared French bread and top with remaining Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Bake on a baking tray for 35 to 45 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown. Let bread sit approximately 10 minutes to set and slightly cool, then slice. Best served warm. Garnish with blue cheese if desired.

Steps:

• Mix ground chicken and 1 cup wing sauce together in a bowl. Shape the mixture into 10 thin patties. Spread 1 package crumbled blue cheese over the center of 5 patties. Cap with the remaining 5 patties to seal in the blue cheese.
• Cook patties until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Combine the remaining 3/4 cup wing sauce, the remaining 1 package crumbled blue cheese, and blue cheese dressing in a bowl. Spread over the cooked patties. Top burgers with carrots and celery.

Steps:

• Marinade -- the chicken all day or even over night. In a large baggie add 1 cup of wing sauce and the chicken. Seal and shake and mix well to coat.
• Vegetables -- 3-4 hours before making the sandwich, marinate the vegetables. Add the sliced onions, carrots and celery in the Italian vinaigrette in a baggie. Just toss in the refrigerator.
• Chicken -- Once again, you can grill the chicken ahead of time to make dinner a quick fix. Grill outside or inside grill pan is fine for this. Salt and pepper the chicken and grill until done. It should take about 10-12 minutes. Don't cut the chicken until you are ready to put the sandwiches together. Just let cool and wrap in foil and refrigerate until ready to assemble the sandwich.
• Sandwich -- Cut lengthwise and hollow out both the top and bottom just a bit to make room for the filling. Then place under the broiler for just 30 seconds. Just browning the inside will help keep the sandwich from getting soggy. Bring the chicken to room temp and cut thin slices on a angle. Spread the blue cheese on both the top and bottom of the bread, then to the bottom slice of bread, add 1/2 of the chicken, 1/2 cup of wing sauce, the marinated vegetable (drained), 1/2 of the provolone cheese, the remaining chicken and 1/2 cup wing sauce and the other 1/2 of the cheese. Finish with the top bread.
• Sauce and Bake -- Melt the butter and add the remaining 1/2 cup sauce just in the microwave and then brush on the bread, top and bottom. Now wrap in foil and either grill inside or outside. Inside oven should be 375. I like to weigh my down just a bit as it grills or bakes, Just a cast iron or any heavy pan will work just fine. Cook for 10 minutes and then flip and cook another 5-7 minutes. Remove and let set a minute and then slice up. It will serve 8-10 very hungry people.
