Assembly
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce
- Turn the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the Frank's RedHot Sauce and 4 tablespoons butter together, reserving 2 tablespoons butter. Stir together to make one cohesive Buffalo sauce.
Cook the Chicken
- Toss together the Buffalo sauce and chicken until well coated.
Assemble and Bake
- Divide the chicken evenly to fill the hoagie or split French rolls and top with mozzarella. If your roll is completely split into two, top with the other half of the bread and place the subs in a baking pan. Cover the baking pan with foil.
- Bake until the subs are heated through and the cheese melts, about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another three minutes to toast the bread.
- As the subs bake, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. When the subs finish baking, brush the bread with the melted butter. Enjoy!
