Hot Honey Chicken Sandwiches
These Hot Honey Chicken Sandwiches are so good! They’re a perfect blend of sweet and spicy, and they are also super easy to make! If you are looking for an easy dinner recipe I hope you give these a try! I make these all the time and my family loves them!
What you need for this easy dinner recipe:
- Your favourite buns- These go really well with a nice soft burger bun, but I have also made them with homemade sourdough ciabatta buns and they were delicious.
- Chicken thighs – Boneless skinless chicken thighs are perfect for this recipe, you can swap it out with breast its not as juicy as a chicken thigh
- Eggs and Flour
- Avocado ( or any high heat cooking oil) – I like to fry these in Chosen foods avocado oil because its great for high heat cooking.
- Hot sauce – This Sky valley Sriracha is my favourite for this recipe.
- Honey – I use local raw honey but any honey will do
- Mayonnaise- My favourite is Chosen foods because it is made using 100% avocado oil, no seed oils!
- Pickled onions – Try my Quick pickled onions they come together in five minutes
- Other toppings – For the other toppings for on this sandwich I like to add aged chedder cheese, some sort of micro green, arugula, broccoli sprouts, or pea shoots are some of my favourite. and lastly bread and butter pickles go really well on this sandwich.
These sandwiches come together so easily, making them a perfect easy dinner recipe
This recipe makes as many as you want it to! Use one chicken thigh per sandwich and adjust your toppings and hot honey mixture depending on how many you want to make
How to make these:
First whisk up your egg, then add your chicken to the whisked egg and give it a stir
Add a generous amount of oil to your cast iron pan. It doesn’t need to be deep but it needs to cover the bottom of the pan, then turn the heat to medium high.
Once the pan is hot take your chicken and cover it in the flour mixture. Press down on the chicken to really make sure it’s covered well in flour, flip it over and repeat. Then add them to the cast iron. Once crispy on the bottom flip them and cook them until they are cooked through, at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the chicken is cooking you are going to want to make the hot honey mixture. This sauce is super easy, Add equal parts honey and siracha to a sauce pan and warm it up to melt the honey. I do 1/4 cup of each and this is good for 4 sandwiches.
Then butter your buns, add chedder cheese to one side and throw them in the oven on broil for a couple minutes, until the cheese is melted and the buns are warm and crispy to your liking.
Now all that is left is to assemble. Add mayonnaise to the side of your bread that isn’t covered in cheese. I added a little hot honey to the mayo, so good! Then take a chicken thigh and dip both sides into the hot honey sauce add that to your bun then top it with the rest of the toppings.
Then all that is left is to enjoy
