This classic BBQ chicken sandwich is a staple for us. The pretzel buns with fry sauce make it a dish that I crave. And the meal goes great with a side of house cut French fries. Perfectly quick for a weeknight meal or a lunch, this meal adapts easily to being kid-friendly. Just serve the sandwiches disassembled.
Classic Chicken Sandwich
Kid-friendly suggestion: To make this meal extra kid-friendly, we serve the sandwiches disassembled. If they want to eat plain buns and chicken- we let them!
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts
- 6 pretzel buns
- 1 sliced tomato
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- BBQ sauce
- BBQ rub
- Fry sauce (make your own by mixing mayo + ketchup)
Directions
- Start by seasoning the chicken with the BBQ rub
- Grill the chicken at 375
- Once you turn over the chicken while grilling, brush BBQ sauce on the upwards side, turn one final time to put sauce on other side
- While waiting for chicken to cook, cut the pretzel bun in half, butter the inside, and place inside-down on a hot griddle or fry pan
- Once cooked, halve the chicken to serve
- Assemble the sandwich on the toasted pretzel buns with lettuce, tomato, chicken, and fry sauce
