Method
For the BBQ Chicken
- Preheat the outdoor grill to approximately 350°F or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Pound the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap with the smooth side of a meat mallet to 1/2 -inch thickness, then cut each breast in half to make two portions from each breast half.
- Lightly drizzle each portion with olive oil on both sides to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill pan. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- When the grill (or grill pan) is hot, add the chicken and cook for two minutes, flip over and cook two minutes longer, flip again this time rotating half a turn to achieve perfect grill marks, then once more for the final turn. You are looking to cook the chicken for a total of two-to-three minutes cooking per side (four flips) and an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the grill to a saucepan then toss in homemade BBQ sauce to infuse the chicken with the flavor of the sauce. Let simmer on low heat until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, spread an even light coating of mayonnaise on the inside top and bottom layer of each bun. Toast the buns on the grill with the remaining grill heat for a minute or two.
For the Sandwich
- When the buns are toasted, add the chicken to the bottom bun portion, next add a dollop of creamy coleslaw, a few red onion slices, and two bread and butter pickle slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
