Buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich

Hello....

After the success of turning Bacon guacamole grilled cheese sandwich I was wondering what other dishes I could turn into grilled cheese sandwiches. The basic idea is to take all of the flavours of a food that I am already totally into and use them in a grilled cheese sandwich. It did not take me too long to think of something perfect and it is interesting that it is also classic bar food, buffalo chicken wings, which are also one of my favourites. Buffalo chicken wings are chicken wings that are tossed in a spicy hot sauce and they are commonly served with a side of carrot and celery sticks with a blue cheese dip.

I knew precisely wherever i used to be reaching to begin with the buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich which was with a fast buffalo salad. I created the buffalo salad by intermixture cut chicken with some salad dressing, carrots, celery, purple onion and and a healthy dose of sauce. From there I inbuilt the grilled cheese aspects with bitter dough bread, some cheese that melts nicely and barely of cheese to induce the dips flavours into the sandwich. i used to be additionally thinking that I might use some cheese dip in situ of the salad dressing and therefore the cheese however I needed some nice chunks of cheese within the sandwich in order that they'd soften and acquire all nice and creamy and sensible. All that remained was to grill the sandwich up till the surface was golden brown and therefore the cheese had fusible. (Tip: One trick to assist check that that cheese melts nicely in a very grilled cheese is to bring it up to temperature before you grill the sandwich.)

I have to say that the buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich exceeded all of my expectations and I promptly devoured it! You really cannot go wrong with a spicy filling encased in melted, gooey cheese all wrapped up in a buttery lightly toasted bread! I particularly liked the way the buffalo chicken flavours came through and they were definitely made even better by being in a grilled cheese sandwich. I served the buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich with a side of carrot and celery sticks with some blue cheese
