Ingredients: Buffalo Chicken:; 2 lb / 1 kg chicken breast , boneless skinless (3 large or 4 small); 4 tbsp butter; 3/4 cup hot sauce of choice (Note 2); 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp honey; 2 tbsp brown sugar; 2 tbsp soy sauce; 3 tbsp tomato ketchup (or Australian tomato sauce); 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or onion powder); 1/2 tsp paprika; 1/2 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves); 1 tsp salt; Black pepper; Sauce:; 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch / corn flour; To serve:; 7 rolls; Lettuce of choice (optional); Blue Cheese Sauce (optional - see recipe below); 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese , softened (I use gorgonzola); 1/4 cup sour cream (I usually use low fat); 1/4 cup mayonnaise; 1 small garlic clove , minced; 2 - 4 tbsp milk; 2 tbsp lemon juice; 1/2 tsp salt; Black pepper

1. I make this with a variety of hot sauces for different spiciness and slightly different flavours. I love them all!

a) Mildest: use 1 bottle (5oz/148ml) Franks Original Hot Sauce (sold in Coles and Woolworths in Australia in the tomato sauce / BBQ sauce section) which is the classic hot sauce used in Buffalo Sauce for Chicken Wings (like in this recipe).

b) Hotter, but not "blow your head off" spicy: Franks Hot Wings Sauce (not available in Australia as far as I know, sorry! And I'm out of my stash!)

c) Sriracha: Wee bit hotter than b), and with a nice garlicky kick!

d) Trident Hot Chilli Sauce: Just as spicy as c), but slightly thicker than all the above 3 so the sauce is slightly thicker which I like!

e) EXTRA HEAT: Right at the end when you reduce the sauce, you can adjust the spiciness of the sauce with cayenne pepper, tabasco or more hot sauce of choice.

2. This can also be made in a pressure cooker or on the stove.PRESSURE COOKER: 30 minutes on high.STOVE: Add 1/2 cup of water and simmer for 50 minutes to 1 hour (with lid), or until chicken is fork tender.
