Crack Chicken Bird Dog Sandwiches – my FAVORITE sandwich! Crispy chicken fingers, bacon, cheese, and ranch dressing served in a warm hot dog bun. Great for a quick lunch, dinner, and parties! We love to take these for tailgating before football games and warm them up on the grill before the big game. Everyone LOVES this delicious sandwich.
I like to chop up the chicken meat before adding it to the buns. Sometimes the chicken strips are too big for the hot dog buns. You can leave them whole if you prefer.
