I came up with this recipe a few weeks ago, at least on paper. Last evening, I could not sleep, so I spent most of the night, and wee hours of the morning playing about with this sandwich. The two cheeses, chicken, hot sauce, and pickles give it several layers of flavor. I would serve it with some chips or fries, and a beer or two. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make sandwich essential: buffalo chicken grilled cheese

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

You will need a skillet to make this recipe.
Step 3

I like to use thinly sliced dill pickles in the sandwich, and then top with a few bread-and-butter pickles. That helps to add to the sandwiches' flavor levels.
Step 4

The only hot sauce I used for this recipe is Frank’s. It has a vinegary tart flavor that I really love.
Step 5

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 6

Mix the butter and mayonnaise together in a small bowl and add a pinch or two of hot sauce.
Step 7

Add the two cheeses to a bowl and toss with some hot sauce and a bit of black pepper.
Step 8

Lay one of the lightly toasted bread slices on a clean surface and add half the cheese.
Step 9

Add the chicken.
Step 10

I do not have a photo of this step, my bad, but add the thinly sliced pickles. And they should be almost “paper” thin.
Step 11

Add the remainder of the cheese, and top with the second slice of lightly toasted bread, then brush with the butter/mayo mixture.
Step 12

Lay in a cold skillet, butter side down, then butter the top slice, and bring the heat up to medium.
Step 13

Cook until lightly toasted and then flip, about 3 – 4 minutes.
Step 14

Flip and toast the second side until golden brown, about an additional 2 – 3 minutes.
Step 15

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 16

Serve while warm and gooey, with some additional pickles and maybe some chips. Enjoy.
Step 17

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
