From Southern Living May 2009 Special Movie Night Section, these sandwiches were rated mild by the test staff for heat level. Let guests add more hot sauce to taste. I like the inclusion of crispy carrots and celery to this sandwich - a good way to get some extra veggies! This recipe includes the usual blue cheese dressing, which I personally do not like, so I would substitute ranch dressing, and shredded parmesan or swiss cheese for the blue cheese crumbles. You can also used grilled or roasted chicken strips to avoid the 'fried stuff' - still delicious. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
1/2 cup buffalo-style hot sauce, divided |
6 hoagie rolls, split |
1/3 cup refrigerated blue cheese dressing (or ranch dressing) |
1/2 teaspoon creole seasoning |
1 1/2 cups matchstick-cut carrots |
1 1/2 cups diagonally sliced celery |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional) |
12 large deli-fried chicken strips (about 1 1/4 pound) |
1 (4 ounce) package crumbled blue cheese (or shredded parmesan or swiss cheese) |
buffalo-style hot sauce (extra-optional) |
Directions:
1. Stir together butter and 2 teaspoons hot sauce. Brush cut sides of rolls evenly with mixture. Place, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted.
2. Stir together blue cheese dressing, 2-3 teaspoons hot sauce, and Creole seasoning. Add carrots, celery, and if desired, onion; toss to coat.
3. Arrange chicken on bottom halves of rolls; drizzle evenly with remaining hot sauce.
4. Layer chicken evenly with carrot mixture and crumbled blue cheese.
5. Top with remaining roll halves. Serve with additional hot sauce, if desired.
