Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well in the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest.

Making the BBQ Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Coat the Chicken

    Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips and toss it in the warm BBQ sauce until well coated.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

  2. 6

    Build the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the BBQ-coated chicken strips, sliced tomatoes, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
