What’s the best chicken to use?
You want to use shredded chicken in this grilled cheese so that it combines really well with the hot sauce. You can use thigh or breast that you cook in the oven or Instant Pot and then shred with forks. You can also use rotisserie chicken to cut down on prep time.
What do you serve with it?
This buffalo chicken grilled cheese is perfect by itself, but I love to dip it in blue cheese and buffalo sauce for a real hit of flavor. You can of course, serve it with some fries or a side salad too.
What’s the best bread to use?
You can of course use any bread for these grilled cheeses, but I really like to use sourdough for mine. It’s thick, holds together really well and really soaks up those flavors. Because the mixture is fairly wet, it’s best to use thick slices.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- This recipe can easily be scaled up or down as needed.
- As these sandwiches are thick, covering the skillet with a lid helps them heat through without burning the bread.
Make it your own!
If you don’t like blue cheese, you can leave that out or replace with extra cheese of your choice.
