01
Step 1
Start by slicing each chicken breast in half, then pop them into a large resealable bag. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently flatten the chicken pieces to about half an inch thick. Pour in enough buffalo wing sauce to coat the chicken, seal the bag, and give it a good shake to make sure every piece is covered. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2
When you're ready, heat up your grill to medium heat—whether you're using gas or charcoal (wait until the coals are nice and ashy if you’re going the charcoal route). Take the chicken out of the bag, letting any extra sauce drip off, and toss the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, flipping once halfway through. You want the internal temperature to hit 165°F and the meat to be cooked through with no pink inside. If you like, brush on a little more buffalo sauce while it cooks. During the last minute, add two cheese quarters on top of each piece so they melt nicely.

Step 3
While the chicken finishes up, put the buns cut-side down on the grill for a minute or two until they get toasted and golden. Spread some dressing on the buns, pile on celery sticks and the buffalo chicken, then sandwich it all together and enjoy!
