Home for the Holidays

 Well, its official. This semester has gone by so quickly! But I wouldn't have expected anything other than this. I am officially home in my own bed and let me tell you... there's nothing like sleeping in your bed you grew up in. I have been getting the best night sleeps. Not to mention the food, and on my parents bill ;)

This week we made (my specialty) buffalo chicken sandwiches. My brother had just got home from U of I and he wanted them so of course I gave in. And not to toot my own horn, but they are always delicious.

Here is how I made them:

First you get chicken breasts, doesn't matter what kind just make sure they are thick enough so you can butterfly cut them. You basically cut your four chicken breasts into 8 thinner chicken breasts so they will cook evenly without getting too dry. Once you get your chicken cut you put them on a pan on the stove. Sprinkle your favorite wing rub, mine is this Dry Heat wing rub from Schnucks, and then pour some buffalo Frank's red hot on top of them. Then you let them cook on one side, flip them over and season them with the same seasoning you did on the other side. Make sure they are cooked and then you are perfect! I like to toast my buns on a griddle, sprinkle Cole slaw, pickles and spicy mayo on top and then you have the most perfect buffalo chicken sandwiches!
