Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a rack in the top position. Wash and dry produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
  2. Toss potato wedges on a baking sheet with a generous drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack until golden and crispy, 20-25 minutes.
  3. While potatoes roast, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Drain any excess liquid from the chopped chicken. Heat another drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, Frank’s Seasoning Blend, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Return the sautéed onion to the pan and stir to combine.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add hot sauce and 1 tablespoon butter; cook, stirring, until butter melts and mixture is evenly coated, 1-2 minutes. Evenly top with mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses. Cook undisturbed until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Halve baguettes lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Use a spoon to carefully hollow out the baguettes (save the insides for breadcrumbs). Toast the baguettes until lightly golden.
  6. Divide the Buffalo chicken mixture evenly among the toasted baguettes. Drizzle with blue cheese dressing. Serve sandwiches alongside the roasted potato wedges.

Recipe Tips

For extra crispy potato wedges, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.

If you prefer a milder spice, reduce the amount of hot sauce or use a mild Buffalo sauce.

Leftover baguette insides can be turned into homemade breadcrumbs or croutons.

FAQ

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast?

Yes, boneless skinless chicken thighs work well. Just adjust cooking time as needed until cooked through.

How do I make this recipe gluten-free?

Use gluten-free baguettes or rolls and ensure your hot sauce and seasoning blend are gluten-free. Check labels.

Can I prepare the chicken mixture ahead of time?

Yes, cook the chicken and onion mixture, then refrigerate. Reheat in a pan before adding cheese and assembling sandwiches.
