I am so excited to be showing you this delicious recipe today. Buffalo Chicken Rolls . . . I love, LOVE these. They embody several things that I just adore . . . the flavor of Buffalo Wings/Chicken . . . Blue Cheese Dressing . . . sandwiches. Mmmm . . . Mmmm . . . Mmmm. What's not to love about all of those things . . . AND that is not all . . . no, that is not all . . .
They're quick to make. They're simple to make and . . . most important of all . . . they're delicious!
You can make good use of leftovers if you have them . . . from the Sunday roast chicken, or . . . you can pick up a rotisserie chicken to make them . . . or (and I have been known to do this) you can poach couple of chicken breasts to use or even use tinned cooked chicken breast meat.
They are economical and they are filling . . . and that sauce is absolutely flipping gorgeous . . . the Buffalo Sauce that is. You can make your own Blue Cheese dressing, or you can use purchased Blue Cheese Dressing. I have an excellent recipe for a Blue Cheese dressing you can make yourself here.
These make a delicious and easy and quick week night supper. One that won't heat up the kitchen and one that the family will love, LOVE. I served them with some oven roasted potatoes, but you could serve them with potato chips or salad or whatever. No matter how you serve them, you will enjoy. I guarantee!

The recipe makes a lot of buffalo sauce, but you can pass extra at the table if you wish, or keep in the refrigerator for several weeks. Freeze if you want to keep it for longer. Delicious sandwiches!
For the Buffalo Sauce:
125ml of water (1/2 cup)125ml of white vinegar (1/2 cup)125g of tomato ketchup (1/2 cup)2 TBS liquid honey60g of soft light brown sugar (1/4 cup packed)60ml of hot sauce (I used Franks) (1/4 cup)75ml of Worcestershire sauce (1/3 cup)1 tsp smoked paprika, or to taste1/2 tsp ground coriander1 tsp salt, or to tasteblack pepper to taste
You will also need:1 small rotisserie chicken, meat shredded, skin and bones discarded (Will give you about 3 cups of chicken)6 brioche hot dog rolls, toasted3 TBS chopped red onionsblue cheese dressingshredded lettuceextra blue cheese for crumbling (optional)
Combine all of the ingredients for the sauce in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer gently for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning as required.
Heat the chicken through. Add enough sauce to moisten it generously. Keep warm while you toast the buns.
Top the toasted buns with shredded lettuce and a portion of the chicken and sauce. Sprinkle with the red onions. Drizzle with blue cheese sauce and blue cheese crumbles (if using). Serve immediately.
