• Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
• Wash and dry all produce.
• Remove any brown spots from potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch rounds.
• To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add potatoes, half the Applewood Smoke Spice and 1 tbsp oil. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
• Roast in the middle of the oven for 23-25 min, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden. (NOTE: For 4 servings, roast in the top and middle of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)

• Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. 
• Cover chicken pieces with plastic wrap. Using a mallet, rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pan, carefully pound chicken pieces until 1/2-inch thick.
• Season with the remaining Applewood Smoke Spice, then salt and pepper.

• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
• When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook for 4-5 min, flipping halfway through, until browned.** (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed.)

• Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions. 
• To a medium bowl, add half the ranch and green onions. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. 
• To the bowl, add cabbage. Toss to combine. 
• To a large microwavable bowl, add 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) butter. Melt butter in the microwave. Add hot sauce, then whisk to combine. Set aside. 

• Halve buns. On an unlined baking sheet, arrange buns, cut-side up. Toast buns in the middle of the oven for 4-5 min, until golden. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.)
• Once chicken has finished cooking, transfer to a clean cutting board, then thinly slice. 
• To the large bowl with Buffalo-butter sauce, add chicken. Toss to coat. 

• Divide chicken between buns, drizzling any sauce from the bowl over chicken.
• Top with cabbage slaw. 
• Divide sandwiches and roasted potatoes between plates. 
• Serve remaining ranch sauce on the side for dipping.

If you've opted to get chicken breasts, prep and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook chicken thighs, increasing cook time to 6-8 minutes.
