Buffalo Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Brine the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine sweet tea, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the brine, pat dry, and brush lightly with olive oil. Grill or cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, place a piece of grilled chicken, top with fresh mozzarella, lettuce, and slices of tomato. Drizzle with house buffalo sauce and top with the other half of the bun.
