I am a big fan of buffalo chicken! Buffalo chicken was one of my favorite foods as a newly-wed.

On one of my first dates with my hubby we had a buffalo chicken wing eating contest at a small restaurant while we watched a local band play. That was the first time I had buffalo wings, and I fell in LOVE (with buffalo wings and the handsome man covered in hot sauce.)

Because of that oh-so-romantic date I tried (and failed) to make buffalo chicken wings on my honeymoon.

I remember struggling to locate the right hot sauce in the grocery aisle. I still am not sure I picked the right one, but that was only the beginning of the problems.

I tried baking the wings in the oven of my tiny studio apartment kitchen and I am pretty sure I managed to burn them without making any of the skin crispy.

Let me assure you, my chicken wing game is much better now.

If you like buffalo chicken, like me, but want a vegetarian option, try this Baked Buffalo Cauliflower!

But sometimes I really crave the flavors of buffalo chicken WITHOUT the hassle and work of frying up some chicken wings.

In come these gluten free buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich dippers… which I think I would pick over chicken wings most days. GASP!

The ooey gooey cheese and golden fried bread just do something for me that buffalo chicken wings alone can never do.

How to make gluten free buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwiches?

I used leftover rotisserie chicken which makes these gluten free buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich dippers a lot easier to make.

Just mix the shredded chicken with some buffalo wing sauce and cheese and then sandwich the mixture between 2 slices of Canyon Bakehouse’s Mountain White Bread.

I used a combo of blue cheese and mozzarella cheese in my filling. Blue cheese is a classic buffalo wing pairing but it won’t melt the same way that mozzarella cheese does.

The mozzarella is just there so that the finished sandwich would have lots of gooey melted cheese. Because I like that.

I meant to buy Monterey jack cheese instead of mozzarella, but since I was shopping with both of my little “helpers” I didn’t notice that I had grabbed mozzarella until I got home.

I think either mozzarella or Monterey jack would work fine as would any other mild-flavored, easy melting cheese. You want the flavors of the blue cheese to shine!

I spread mayonnaise on my sandwiches before cooking them, but you can also spread them with softened butter.

If you don’t spread your gluten free bread with something, it won’t turn golden when you cook it.

Alternatively you can put some butter or olive oil in your pan before cooking your grilled buffalo chicken sandwiches.

Cook your grilled buffalo chicken sandwiches for a few minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

If you want, you can cut each of your sandwiches into 3 strips that are perfect for dipping in ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing. Or you can eat it as a whole gluten free grilled buffalo chicken sandwich.
