I wanted a grilled chicken sandwich and a coke for lunch so you’re damn sure I made one and that’s how this video was born Ladies and gentlemen no better place to start them with my favorite condiment pickled onions so we’re gonna take this red onion and then we’re gonna slice the ends off of both sides and remove the outer skin and then a very important tip for someone who has made a lot of

Pickled onions we don’t want to slice them crosswise we want to slice them from stem to the roof and you get these really nice looking sexy onion slices trust me it makes a difference when you get to the end of the onion you can just flip it down and then continue those

Same cuts now we’re going to gather up those gorgeous onion slices and just throw them into a mason jar and just fill them up as much as you can don’t be afraid to give them a little push down if you need to now for a quick pickling

Lookit I like to pour in some water and I just fill it up half the way of whatever jar I’m using I don’t actually measure it then with the other half I’m going to fill that in with just some regular white vinegar and a top that off

We’re just gonna come in with a nice forefinger pinch of coarse kosher salt and the same amount of sugar now get a pan over medium heat and pour in those pickled onions we’re going to bring them up to just like a simmer or boil and then immediately turn off the heat and

You can add them back to that mason jar and since we already measured everything we can just pour in all that liquid and we have a perfectly filled jar of pickled onions with the pickled onions done let’s make a quick marinade for that chicken using some Mayo some hot sauce and some cumin

Seeds so I’ve covered this in my Mayo steak video but basically Mayo is a great option to use as a marinade for meats because it’s really good at getting a great sear and it’s convenient to mix in any kind of spices that you want so for me I’m just adding hot sauce

And those cumin seeds and coming in with a little bit of salt and pepper with that mixed up now I’m just gonna get my chicken thighs out I’m using skinless and boneless and I’m just gonna lightly trim you know some extra fatty pieces if I notice any and I’m also going to kind

Of slice into the meat and Flay it out just so it lies a little bit more flatly so we get that even cooking throughout when it’s on the griddle with the chicken prepared just throw it into that Mayo mixture and we’re just going to stir it up and then throw this in the

Fridge I like to at least let it go for like 20 minutes though you could cook this right away if you wanted to for toppings you can really use anything that you want but for this kind of chicken sandwich I like to keep the toppings kind of light and fresh so we

Get some nice crunchy acidity with our pickled onions then we get a little bit of freshness from that romaine lettuce and then the sharp cheese pairs really well to cut through the sandwich so you make sure you notice it and then of course we’ve got these beautifully soft

Just brioche buns and then for the tomatoes all I want to do is just slice these up really thin to provide some extra juiciness to the sandwich get a cast iron over medium-high heat and we’re gonna pull our chicken out of the fridge and add it to the griddle you’re

Just gonna let that chicken sear and brown up for about three to four minutes aside and the best thing about using chicken thighs is that they’re a lot harder to overcook they’ll almost always be juicy so just sit back get some nice brown crust on those and then we can go

Ahead and toast our buns with all those sandwich components ready let’s prepare this sandwich I like to start with that chicken thigh on the bottom let those juices kind of soak down into the brioche bun then come in with the tomatoes on a kind of a rough

Surface so they don’t slide around on the sandwich then we’re gonna hit it with those pickled onions seriously do not sleep on these I keep some of these in my fridge at all times they go good on anything that steamers gonna come in with a half piece of that Cooper sharp

Hit it with a little bit of romaine and we can top our sandwich this is easily the best grilled chicken sandwich not that I make them all the time or anything but everything was just perfectly balanced you didn’t need any extra sauce I mean just look at this
