Instructions

Caramelize Onions: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté them until caramelized and golden brown, about 8–10 minutes. Once done, remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
Cook Buffalo Chicken: Using the same skillet, add shredded cooked chicken and buffalo wing sauce. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly and heat through for 3–4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat Broiler or Griddle: Preheat your oven broiler or a griddle pan to prepare for toasting the hoagie rolls.
Toast Rolls: Slice the hoagie rolls open carefully without cutting all the way through. Place them under the broiler for 1–2 minutes until they become lightly toasted and golden.
Assemble Sandwiches: Fill each toasted roll with the buffalo chicken mixture, caramelized onions, and then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese (or your chosen cheese) on top.
Melt Cheese: Return the stuffed sandwiches to the broiler for 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, ensuring the sandwich is heated through.
Serve: Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the sandwiches if desired, and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley. Serve hot immediately for best flavor.

Notes

You can substitute mozzarella cheese with provolone or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
For a spicier kick, add extra buffalo wing sauce or use spicy pepper jack cheese.
If you prefer, use cooked chicken thighs for a juicier texture over shredded chicken breast.
To make this sandwich gluten-free, use gluten-free hoagie rolls.
Leftover buffalo chicken mixture can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and used in wraps or salads.
