I don’t think I’d ever had a buffalo chicken anything before my senior year in high school. My friends, twinsies Stephen and David, convinced me to try the buffalo ranch sandwich at Chili’s. And that was it – I was hooked on buffalo chicken everything.
As it happens, the other day I found myself getting take-out from Chili’s, so for the sake of my millions of loyal readers, I selflessly partook in a Chicken Ranch Blue Cheese Sandwich for your benefit. You’re welcome!

Location: Chili’s; Braintree, MA
Contender: Buffalo Chicken Ranch Sandwich
(Sorry for the crummy picture – it was taken in the car with my phone)
The menu says “Crispy chicken with spicy wing sauce and ranch dressing on a sesame seed or wheat bun.” As I always do, I replaced the ranch with blue cheese and skipped the tomato (in case you haven’t picked up on it, I loathe tomatoes).
The chicken is breaded and fried, which allows it to absorb a lot of buffalo sauce. This one is not for the wimps! I love me a good sesame seed bun and I’ve previously professed my love for shredded lettuce, so this one is just a classic winner for me. I’m sure it’s good with the ranch, too, I just never pass up an opportunity for blue cheese! And to top it off, the fries at Chili’s are just fabulous.
