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!!**

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed and reserved and meat shredded
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1/2 small head red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 to 2 dashes hot sauce, optional
5 kosher dill pickle spears, thinly sliced lengthwise into ribbons, plus 1/4 cup dill pickle brine
1 carrot, shredded on the large holes of a box grater
Softened unsalted butter, for the toast
8 slices fresh Texas toast bread

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Place the chicken skin in a single layer in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the skin over low heat, flipping once, until it crisps up, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, shred the chicken meat into bite-size pieces into a large bowl. Reserve the wings to nibble on or for another use.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar, horseradish, mustard, pepper and salt to taste. Add the dressing to the shredded chicken and toss to coat. Set aside to let the dressing soak into the chicken.
  • For the pickle slaw: In a medium bowl, add the cabbage, celery salt, sugar, hot sauce, if using, pickles and pickle brine, and carrot. Toss together to mix well. Taste and the adjust seasonings and set aside.
  • Preheat a griddle pan over medium-low heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Cook the buttered sides on the griddle until toasted and golden, about 4 minutes.
  • Top the unbuttered sides of 4 slices of the toast with the crispy chicken skin, then top with the chicken and pickle slaw. Top each sandwich with a slice of bread with the buttered-side up. Serve.

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.
