Buffalo wings are a rarity in my life these days, but I secretly love them. I would always order them in our town diner growing up, except with Ranch dressing- not Blue Cheese- on the side. About once a year I’ll make what I call buffalo chicken sandwiches, which is essentially a healthier version of deep fried buffalo wings- but still with all the same flavors. They’re totally not a blog worthy creation. They basically involve me grilling up chicken, tossing it in some Frank’s Red Hot and butter, and throwing in on a bun with a little Ranch and lettuce. But this sandwich, this one deserves a blog post thanks to the addition of buttermilk, which serves as the base of the chicken marinade and homemade Ranch dressing. It’s totally summer dinner party worthy, and oh so much better if the chicken is grilled. Enjoy!
