the chicken into small, bite-size, chunks.\u00a0 In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper, thoroughly coating the chicken.\u00a0 Let sit at room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavor.\u00a0 Heat an oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees.\u00a0 Cut the muffins or biscuits in half and place one-quarter of the chicken mixture on each half.\u00a0 Place the open-face sandwiches directly on the rack and heat for 15 minutes.\u00a0 Place the cheese on top of the chicken mixture and continue to heat for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted.\u00a0 Remove the sandwiches from the oven, pour the ranch dressing over the top and enjoy.\u00a0 Serves two.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3298\"
