Sourdough Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese
The best recipe for a sourdough buffalo chicken grilled cheese uses fresh bakery bread, American cheese, and Frank's Red Hot for simple, delicious flavor!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 slices fresh sourdough bread
- 2 tsp butter
- 3 slices white american cheese
- 1 to 2 oz baked or grilled chicken sliced
- 1 to 2 tsp Frank's Red Hot
Instructions
- Spread 1 tsp butter on one slice of sourdough bread, then place it butter side down onto a cast iron griddle.
- Lay American cheese on top of the bread, then add a single layer of sliced chicken. Top with a generous drizzle of Frank's Red Hot, then the remaining slice of bread. Spread the remaining butter on the top piece of bread.
- Cook over medium-low heat until bottom is crisped to a golden-brown color, about 5 to 7 minutes. Flip carefully, then cook until bottom is crisped, another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer grilled cheese to a cutting board and slice in half. Serve immediately.
Notes
Sourdough bread: Use fresh sourdough from the bakery counter at your local market or grocery store for the best grilled cheese. The outside gets nice and crispy while the inside stays perfectly fluffy - which soaks up all the melty cheese and hot sauce!
Chicken: We love to make this sandwich for lunch when we have leftover grilled chicken in the fridge! You can put the cold chicken right on this sandwich, since it'll warm up as you're toasting the bread and melting the cheese.
Frank's Red Hot: Frank's tastes like buffalo sauce in a bottle to me - so it's the perfect condiment for an easy, no-frills buffalo chicken grilled cheese. Douse this sandwich with as much or as little hot sauce as you'd like, depending on your spice tolerance!
