“This is actually a LARGE sandwich using a loaf of crispy Italian bread. Great served as a meal, cut into slices as an appetizer or separate onto individual rolls for a quick dinner or lunch.” - by jenske

Ingredients

6 slices bacon
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons hot buffalo wing sauce
1 loaf Italian bread, cut in half lengthwise
3 cups shredded meat from a rotisserie chicken
8 slices pepperjack cheese
1/4 cup roasted red bell peppers, drained and sliced (optional)

Directions

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet; cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Spread both halves of the bread with the mayonnaise mixture. Place chicken on bottom half of bread; layer bacon and cheese on top of chicken. Fold the top half of the bread over the bottom, and wrap with foil.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Add a layer of red pepper slices on top of the bacon and cheese, if desired. Cut into slices, and serve.

"Really, really tasty! These had really great flavor and not at all spicy even though I almost tripled the wing sauce for more flavor (I used Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce). I used hoagie buns tha..." See moret I needed to use up and added a bit of prepared Ranch dressing to the sauce mixture, which added a nice tang. I slathered the sauce on both sides of the buns, then layered as directed. My pepperjack cheese had *mysteriously* disappeared (thank you Mr. CookinBug), so I used a mixture of shredded mozzarella and cheddar. Will definitely make these again and again. Thanks :)"

You could add ot..." See moreher favorites like grilled onions to add to the already awesome flavor. My teenage and older girls lived the sandwich. Thanks!"
