Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

"From Southern Living May 2009 Special "Movie Night" Section, these sandwiches were rated "mild" by the test staff for heat level. Let guests add more hot sauce to taste. I like the inclusion of crispy carrots and celery to this sandwich -- a good way to get some extra veggies! This recipe includes the usual blue cheese dressing, which I personally do not like, so I would substitute ranch dressing, and shredded parmesan or swiss cheese for the blue cheese crumbles. You can also used grilled or roasted chicken strips to avoid the 'fried stuff' -- still delicious."
