Ingredients
  

  • 1 baguette French Baguette
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce
  • 1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled bleu cheese
  • to taste chopped parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that your Buffalo Chicken French Bread cooks evenly and comes out nice and crispy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and Buffalo wing sauce. Mix well to ensure that the chicken is thoroughly coated. Feel free to adjust the amount of sauce based on how spicy you want your dish.
  3. Take your French baguette and slice it in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces that will be your base. Place the halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  4. Spread half of the chicken mixture onto each half of the baguette. Be generous! You want each bite to be packed with flavor and chicken.
  5. Now comes the fun part—sprinkling the cheeses! Start with the sharp white cheddar cheese on top of the chicken mixture, followed by the crumbled bleu cheese. The combination of these cheeses will melt together beautifully.
  6. Carefully place the baking sheet in your preheated oven, and let it bake for about 8 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as you want the cheese to be melted and bubbly, but not browned.
  7. Once done, take the baking sheet out of the oven. The aroma should be incredible at this point! Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes.
  8. To serve, slice the Buffalo Chicken French Bread into individual portions. I like to garnish it with some freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and a touch of freshness.
  9. Enjoy your creation! You can serve it with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, enhancing the flavor even more.

Notes

  • Keep It Crisp: To ensure your bread stays crispy, avoid overloading it with sauce. A light coating works best.
  • Cheese Variations: Feel free to mix and match cheeses! Adding mozzarella can create an even cheesier experience.
  • Spice Control: Adjust the amount of Buffalo wing sauce to your heat preference. You can also mix in some ranch dressing for a milder flavor.
  • Serving Size: This recipe can easily be doubled if you’re feeding a larger crowd. Just use more baguettes and adjust the ingredients accordingly.
