- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. In the final minute, brush chicken with extra hot honey sauce.
- Briefly toast brioche buns on the grill.
- Spread mayonnaise on each bun. Layer with lettuce, grilled chicken, coleslaw, and pickles, then drizzle with additional hot honey sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure to butterfly and pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This helps the chicken cook evenly and stays juicy throughout.
While you can marinate for up to 24 hours, 8 hours typically gives the best flavor without making the meat too soft. 4 hours is the minimum marination time. Just don’t go beyond 24 hours, or the vinegar might start making the meat a bit too tender.
Refrigerate any leftover chicken in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
