Buffalo chicken wings are a football game favorite especially if they’re served with carrots, celery and blue cheese dressing. Buffalo Chicken Sloppy Joes with Blue Cheese Slaw combines all the flavors of the buffalo chicken wing experience into one sandwich. TSP, ground chicken, and cayenne pepper sauce blend to make a mouthwatering base for the sandwich. The slaw, filled with crumbles of blue cheese, cools down the spice of the sloppy joe while adding an awesome crunch to the sandwich. All this piled on a hearty toasted whole wheat bun and dinner is served for game day or any day. Using half TSP, half chicken in this recipe rather than a whole pound of ground chicken saves you $1.79 every time you make this recipe
