Time 2h25m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 25

Ingredients

2/3 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank's
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (1 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 pound pepper jack cheese, thinly sliced
4 soft club rolls
8 leaves Bibb lettuce
Cajun Ranch Dressing, recipe follows
1 cup good mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk, shaken
3 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank's
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon blackening seasoning
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, hot sauce, honey, cumin, garlic, lime juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the chicken into a re-sealable bag and pour the buttermilk marinade over. Marinate in the fridge, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until cooked through and 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Place the cheese on the bottom of each roll, then top with 2 chicken thighs, lettuce and a dollop of Cajun Ranch Dressing.
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, hot sauce, lemon juice, blackening seasoning, mustard, salt and cayenne. Fold in the scallions, celery, red peppers and garlic with the mayonnaise mixture.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sandwiches.
Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level to your liking. If you like things spicy, add more cayenne pepper or hot sauce. If you prefer milder flavors, use less.
Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
If you don't have a buttermilk marinade, you can use a mixture of milk and lemon juice instead. Just let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Serve the sandwiches with your favorite sides. Some good options include coleslaw, potato salad, or French fries.
