Awesome. I worked in a WNY pizza place and chicken finger subs were our best-sellers.
Every time I made one I kind of wanted to just take it and run. Mozzarella works too!

Oy, you’ve got me there. It’s one of my favorite sandwiches and I completely forgot it.

We like the subs extra-spicy, so we use the Franks hot sauce straight, but you can absolutely use butter to mellow it out. I haven’t tried it before, but it’s a great tip!
The words “sub” and “hoagie” are interchangeable in some spots New York in New Jersey, but “hoagie” dominates in Jersey. The rolls that are available at most grocery stores here in Brooklyn are similar to the ones up in Western New York (although they can’t compare to fresh rolls to my favorite shop, Diabella’s up in Rochester).

It can be ordered in mild, medium, and hot. So how do you do that guy? It’s simple, the hot sauce is dumbed down with melted butter mixed in to make it more mild. The higher part butter, the more mellow. Also, I’m not sure but I think they are specifically called hoagie sub rolls: / Not just any sub roll will do, in CA a sub roll is a loaf of french bread (big difference in texture). You can however find hoagie rolls in CA if you ask the right questions. The ingredients are simple enough, but replicating a WNY Chicken Finger Sub is something I’ve tried many times and never accomplished. The only fix, go to WNY : )
