Sweet Buffalo Schnitzel Sandwiches (Family-Friendly!)

From the teenage boys to the little kids too, everyone loves this not-too-spicy Sweet Buffalo Schnitzel Sandwich.

There’s a few people to credit for this recipe. The first credit goes to my four-year-old. One night, when everyone was complaining about the dinner, that little girl had the most unique complaint. She was walking around and saying, in a cute whiny voice, “I want buff schnitz…Mommy, I want buff schnitz.”

She had tasted a buffalo schnitzel sandwich from a local takeout one night (those of you who read ‘Hello Cook’ in Ami’s Whisk might remember the night that a huge bee the size of a small bird flew into my kitchen and I couldn’t cook) and she, surprisingly, loved it. So not her type. 

The truth is, all my boys liked the buffalo schnitzel sandwich from this particular restaurant the best because it’s not really spicy but it’s not overly sweet either. And the sauce that goes with the sandwich is liquidy, not thick. Everyone, four-year-old especially, wanted a homemade version. 

The second person to credit is Leah Schapira. I called her and tried to describe the sauce that came with the sandwich that my kids loved. We knew it wasn’t the same as the hot sauce in the Hot Poppers from Dinner Done because it’s not so spicy and since it’s runnier, we knew it couldn’t be honey-based.

“Is it sweet chili sauce with a bit of hot sauce?” I asked her. “No, that would work, but sweet chili sauce has pieces in it. There’s another sauce I used to use before the days that sweet chili was easy to find and it’s smooth with a similar flavor,” she said.

She showed me the sauce in the grocery and tested out the ratios of sauce-to-hot sauce that night. 

We had dinner. Sweet Buffalo Schnitzel Sandwiches is the simple kind of dinner that everyone loves because it reminds them of a takeout favorite. 

And, really, it’s super simple. All you need is good, soft club bread, good pickles, schnitzel, and this not-spicy-with-just-a-little-kick hot sauce.

Being that Chanukah is coming up, and you’re more likely to fry for dinner, this is a great option. If you want to make an healthier version too, I baked some of the schnitzel and served it on whole wheat bread with simply lettuce and dressing for some family members (i.e. adults).

      Hi,
      Many times fast food places rely on bought ready sauces. Your local grocery should have a few brands of sauces, you can try those first. In addition, try crispy chicken from Dinner Done cookbook. Its a favorite for those that love sesame chicken/ general tso.
