Buffalo Chickpea Sandwich Food

BUFFALO CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a bowl, add the chickpeas and mash until most of the chickpeas are mashed but there's still some texture.
• Add in the bell pepper, celery, and onion and mix well.
• In a bowl, mix the sauce ingredients until well combined.
• Then add sauce to the chickpea mixture along with salt and garlic powder and toss well. Taste and adjust salt and heat. If you like more heat, you can add more hot sauce or you can add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne.
• To make the slaw, add the slaw ingredients to a bowl and toss well. Taste and adjust by adding more ranch if needed.
• Assemble by placing some greens like baby spinach or some peppery greens on one bread slice.
• Then add a good helping of the chickpea mash then top it with the slaw and add another bread slice.

CRISPY BUFFALO CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Once the chickpeas have been thoroughly rinsed, spread them on a clean dish towel and pat them as dry as possible. Remove any skins that have loosened. If desired, remove the skins from all the chickpeas (this will result in a slightly crispier chickpea, but it is not necessary). Transfer the chickpeas to a medium bowl and toss with the baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the celery salt, garlic powder and onion powder and cook, stirring, until the spices are lightly toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup of the hot sauce and stir to combine. Pour over the chickpeas and fold gently to coat well.
• Scatter the chickpeas on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast until the chickpeas are a deep golden brown and very crispy, tossing them and rotating the sheet halfway through, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the hot sauce. Shake the pan back and forth so that the chickpeas roll and are well coated in the sauce. Continue to bake until the sauce has dried out, about 5 minutes more.
• Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce over the top and toss to coat. Let sit on the baking sheet until cooled completely, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.

BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES

BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a shallow bowl. Cover with the buttermilk, turning to coat. Combine the ranch dressing and blue cheese in a small bowl and refrigerate. On a large plate, stir together the flour and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pour the Buffalo sauce into a shallow bowl. Line a large plate with a few layers of paper towels.
• Add enough vegetable oil to a large skillet to come halfway up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350˚ F. Working in batches, remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then coat in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and fry until dark golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• As soon as the chicken is cool enough to handle, dip in the Buffalo sauce, coating it entirely. Place each chicken cutlet on a bun bottom and top with coleslaw and cucumber. Spread the bun tops with the blue cheese mixture and close the sandwiches. Serve with potato chips.
