Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich

Holly’s Recipe Highlights: Hot honey chicken sandwich

Total time. 47 minutes Services: 4 burgers Cooking method: Grilled

Ingredient notes

• Chicken breast. Cook the chicken to ½ inch thickness so it cooks at the same rate and stays on the grill gently. Large chicken breasts can be cut in half horizontally before battering.
• Buns. Brioche rolls offer a soft, slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with warm honey, while regular hamburger buns are firm and budget-friendly.
• Hot honey. Used in both the marinade and the sauce, it adds sweet heat to the entire sandwich. Choose mild or extra spicy depending on your preferred heat level.

Variations

• Not hot honey. Use plain honey with a pinch of chili flakes, cayenne, or a little hot sauce, or follow these hot honey recipe to make your own.
• A softer sandwich. Skip the chili flakes and use carrots, tomatoes, and pickles instead of pepper jack.
• Cheesy version. After grilling, add pepper jack, cheddar or provolone to soften the hot chicken.
