Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

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

  3. 3

    Add BBQ Sauce

    In the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the BBQ sauce on both sides of the chicken breasts, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

  4. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Coleslaw Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix Coleslaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 6

    Chill the Coleslaw

    Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

    Spread butter on the insides of the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the grilled chicken breasts and place them on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a generous scoop of coleslaw and cover with the top half of the bun.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the BBQ chicken sandwiches warm with extra BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
