Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon hot sauce
Olive oil, for lightly coating the chicken
4 chicken cutlets, pounded to 1/2 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 potato buns
Mayonnaise, for spreading
1 medium red onion, sliced
16 bread-and-butter pickle slices

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.

ALMOST-FAMOUS CHICKEN SANDWICHES



Almost-Famous Chicken Sandwiches image

Provided by Food Network

Time 18m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
Peanut oil, for frying
1 large egg
1/2 cup nonfat milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon malted milk powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 sour pickle, cut into 8 slices, plus 1 tablespoon pickle juice from the jar
2 teaspoons white vinegar
4 soft hamburger buns, split
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

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



BBQ Chicken Sandwich -- Waco Family Favorite image

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!!**

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 whole wheat hamburger buns
8 slices pepper bacon, more to taste

1/4 cup barbecue sauce, to taste (Rudy's brand BBQ Sauce is prefered to gain the right taste!!)
1/2 medium red onion, sliced
1 cup broccosprouts, to taste (other mixed sprouts if prefered)
avocado (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat grill.

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!
