Wild West Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

So if you haven't been able to tell by the layout, this is my first blog. I have posted to my wife's blog about two times, so with this post I will already surpass all my previous blogging experience. Something else I am a bit new with is cooking. I mean, I have loved cooking for years now, but I have just recently started actually spending good amounts of time on really getting better at it. I would not call myself a foodie yet, but who knows, maybe someday.

For my first foray into blogging about food, I am going to post a recipe inspired by a wonderful chicken sandwich from Chili's. As the title implies, there is buffalo sauce on this sandwich. Buffalo sauce has been an acquired taste for me. I am not a big fan of vinegar based sauces in general, but have grown to love buffalo sauce because I love chicken wings so much. So anyway, my wife loved these sandwiches, and I hope you do too:

Wild West Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

• 2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup Flour
• Generous amounts of your favorite spices (I use garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and lots of Cavender,s greek seasoning)
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• Vegetable oil
• 12 Slices of bread or 6 hamburger buns
• Ranch dressing
• Spinach lettuce
• 6 slices of cheese
• Buffalo wing sauce

Slice each breast into three pieces. (I like to cut off the thin end for one, and slice horizontally through the thick end to make two more.) On medium heat, fill a frying pan with about half an inch of oil. In one small mixing bowl, mix together flour and spices. In another small mixing bowl, beat egg. Put bread crumbs into a third small mixing bowl. Dip each chicken slice into first the flour, then the egg, and last the bread crumbs, making sure to coat both sides of the chicken with each mixture. Place chicken in hot oil and cook on each side for 1-3 minutes. Remove chicken and place on a plate with paper towels. Lightly toast bread if desired. Prepare bread with ranch dressing, lettuce, and cheese. Add chicken and pour buffalo sauce over chicken. Enjoy!
