Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs
- 4 hot dog buns
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1/4 cup diced celery
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 hot dogs, 4 hot dog buns, 1 cup of cooked shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce, 1/4 cup of blue cheese crumbles, and 1/4 cup of diced celery.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes.
- While the chicken is heating, prepare the hot dogs. You can grill, boil, or pan-fry them according to your preference. If grilling, preheat the grill to medium heat and cook the hot dogs for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until heated through and slightly charred.
- If using hot dog buns, you can warm them in the grill for the last minute of the hot dog cooking time, or you can toast them in a toaster or oven until they are lightly golden.
- Once the chicken and hot dogs are ready, assemble the Buffalo Chicken Dogs. Place a hot dog in each bun.
- Spoon a generous amount of the buffalo chicken mixture over each hot dog.
- Top each Buffalo Chicken Dog with blue cheese crumbles and a sprinkle of diced celery for added crunch and flavor.
- Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious Hot Dog Week Buffalo Chicken Dogs!
Tips
- For maximum flavor, use freshly shredded rotisserie chicken instead of pre-packaged chicken.
- Adjust buffalo sauce heat level to suit your spice tolerance—mild, medium, or fire-breathing hot!
- Toast your buns for extra crunch and to prevent sogginess from the buffalo chicken mixture.
- For a gourmet touch, use high-quality blue cheese crumbles.
- If you prefer a less messy eating experience, drain excess buffalo sauce before topping the hot dogs.
- Consider adding a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing for extra creaminess.
- Experiment with different types of hot dogs—all-beef, chicken, or even vegetarian options work great!
