  • Yield: 4 sandwiches

  • Combine wing sauce, granulated garlic, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne in a large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Toss in cooked shredded chicken, coating all the chicken pieces with the seasoning mixture, and heat through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in blue cheese crumbles.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by starting with a slice of Texas toast. Add one slice of Monterey Jack cheese, top with chicken mixture, add a second slice of cheese, then place another slice of toast on top, buttered-side up. Repeat for 4 sandwiches.
  • Place a completed sandwich in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, until the toast is browned and the cheese is softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the toast. Turn down the heat if the sandwich is browning too fast. Using a spatula, carefully turn the sandwich and cook until the sandwich is brown on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Serve with additional wing sauce, if desired, ranch dressing, carrot strips, and celery sticks.
