Photo: Buffalo Chicken Sub Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 cup your favorite wing sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery ribs, diced
- 2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
- One 36-inch fresh French loaf
- 1 cup blue cheese crumbles
- Homemade Ranch Dressing, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with some salt and pepper, the brown sugar, paprika and cayenne. Sear both sides of the chicken in the skillet until golden, about 4 minutes. Add in the wing sauce, bring to a simmer and finish off in the oven until the chicken registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Let cool, and then pull the meat with your hands. Adjust the seasoning if necessary and place back in the oven at BROIL until crusty and caramelized on top, about 4 minutes.
In a bowl, the combine carrots, celery and tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
Cut the French loaf horizontally. Place an even layer of blue cheese crumbles on the bottom, then the chicken and then the veggies. Serve with a side of Homemade Ranch Dressing.
Homemade Ranch Dressing:
- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh dill, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Mix the mayonnaise, buttermilk, garlic, dill, honey, salt, mustard and pepper in a bowl. Store in an airtight container.

Loved this! I made it and brought it to my husbands work place for everyone and they thought it was fantastic!
As for the ranch dressing:
My favorite dressing by far! I was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago, and the doctors want me to cut out preservatives. After finding a natural mayonnaise, I know I can make this without the chemicals after finding a natural mayo! Thank you so much for this as it is a great ranch dressing that even I can have! And of course it only takes minutes to make :D

Our family of five have three very picky eaters. Getting 60% consensus for meals is impossible. That means just getting one of the kids to agree with mom and dad on a meal. You nailed it. 100%, yes 100% consensus! That's like ice cream, cookies and candy!
Thank you from mom and dad! We now have something different we can eat besides pizza, hamburgers, and macaroni and cheese. By the way, we'll never buy another bottle of Ranch dressing again. Although, we'll have to find another use for the butter milk. Double thanks!
