These were so ridiculously good; I think I could eat this every day!
If you have been following my blog for a while, you may have noticed I am slightly obsessed with buffalo chicken.
I included my grain-free sandwich bun recipe, but you could also use any bread recipe you prefer, or can also serve this in lettuce cups, as pictured below.
I just love the flavor of it and use it in many recipes. So this sandwich could not go wrong!

Hello Stacey, It's Irene again. I did this twice. First try, I used the microwave for the bun and toasted them on a pan, turned out good. Yesterday, I doubled the recipe, except the eggs, just used 2 eggs and eggwhite equivalents of 2 eggs, added a scoop of whey protein to the batter and baked it using a bundt pan, lol...as for the dressing/sauce, I ran out of ranch but I have Italian dressing mix in the pantry and used a teaspoon of it, used Veganaise instead of regular Mayo, and Voila...perfect. Family loved it. Thanks again!!!

Hi Irene, so glad the substitutions worked out! Very creative ideas with the the buns and the dressing. I think my hubby has whey protein powder somewhere in the cabinet. I will have to find it and start using it again. Thank you for your kindness and clever ideas you've shared.
