Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of Carolina BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 cup of coleslaw
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of Carolina BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to make the BBQ sauce.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the BBQ sauce over the chicken. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with the remaining BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing the sliced BBQ chicken on the bottom half of each bun, topping with coleslaw, and covering with the top half of the bun.
- Serve the Carolina BBQ chicken sandwiches with extra coleslaw and BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy!
