BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICHES
With four small children at home, I need quick yet filling meals. This family-favorite BBQ chicken sandwich filling is a cinch to make. For a spicier taste, eliminate the ketchup and increase the amount of salsa to 1 cup. -Leticia Lewis, Kennewick, Washington

GRILLED BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICHES
Steps:
- For the barbecue sauce: In a medium saucepot over medium heat, add the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, dark brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard, onion powder, hot sauce and 1 cup water and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 1 1/2 hours.
- For the chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Lightly drizzle some olive oil onto the chicken to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill pan. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. When the grill pan is hot, add the chicken and cook until char marks appear and the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Toss the chicken with the barbecue sauce. Let simmer on low until ready to serve, to infuse the chicken with the flavor of the sauce.
- For the sandwich: Spread an even layer of mayonnaise on the top and bottom of a potato bun, add the chicken, a few red onion slices and 2 bread and butter pickles. Top with the other half of the potato bun.

Steps:
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each);
- Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets. Place the cutlets between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/8-inch thick with a mallet or heavy skillet. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon each pepper and paprika.
- Heat about 2 inches peanut oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk the egg, milk and 2 tablespoons water in a baking dish. Whisk both flours, the malted milk powder, confectioners' sugar, baking soda, dry mustard, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in another dish. Toss the pickle slices, pickle juice and vinegar in a bowl and set aside.
- Working in batches, dip the chicken in the egg mixture, turning to coat, then dredge in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Fry the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown, about 4 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed. Drain on paper towels.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread the cut sides of the buns with some of the butter and lightly toast in the skillet, buttered-side down; spread with more butter. Put 2 pickle slices on each bun bottom; top with a piece of chicken and cover with the bun tops.

BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICH -- WACO FAMILY FAVORITE
This is a family favorite and in frequent rotation during the summertime in our household (Gotta love it anytime DH grills up dinner). Although normally we use sprouts ( Broccosprouts whenever we can find them), the kiddos are more inclined to sub lettuce and omit the tomatoes. Kids, go figure! Sometimes an avocado can garnish, normally that is on the side as guacamole with chips. Garnish varies depending on what looks good and fresh at the market. **Rudy's BBQ Sauce from Texas is KEY to the flavor of this sandwich! We use all sorts of other sauces, but Rudy's is just the best for these - by the case I tell ya!!**

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe, as they will stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the grill.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Use a good quality bun. A sturdy bun will hold up to the juicy chicken and sauce. Look for a bun that is slightly toasted and has a good crust.
- Load up on the toppings. The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for BBQ chicken sandwiches. Some popular choices include coleslaw, potato salad, pickles, onions, and tomatoes.
- Make your own BBQ sauce. Homemade BBQ sauce is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. There are many different recipes available online, so you can find one that you like.
Conclusion:
BBQ chicken sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sandwich that is sure to please everyone at the table. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
