My boys prefer home lunches and also love varieties for their lunch. When I use the word variety, I mean that they would not want a dish to be repeated in 2-3 weeks and believe it or not, its a lot of pressure to make something that tastes great and that they would love it as well.
These chicken buns are easy to make and can be easily made by beginners as well. The chicken does not have to marinated for too long and even the process of marination is with pretty simple ingredients. This is great dish if you have boneless chicken available and haven’t thought of anything in mind, and need to get things ready in a rush.
My boys prefer this in the hot dog bun Sandwich, but this chicken would taste great even with a tortilla and Roti wrap too. I have tried them with ciabatta, french long bread and croissants as well.
I usually make this and serve it with a different spicy sauce . The recipe for the spicy sauce is in the sauce section. A blend of mayo, ketchup, hot sauce and mustard sauce goes perfectly with this spicy shredded chicken to give that kick to this sandwich.
On one of our trips to Florida, we ate at a restaurant that serves Halal sandwiches, basically Halal American food. For people like us, it feels like hitting a jackpot. As much as we feel like trying the american food, unfortunately we do not have American restaurants in New Jersey that would serve halal food. I am pretty sure that will change with time, with the increasing Muslim community and their demands to try out new cuisines, but for now, we get excited each time we find a restaurant serving non Indian/ Pakistani halal food.
So, going back to us trying the American chicken sandwich, we tried a Philly chicken steak sandwich which was absolutely delicious. The sauce, the marination flavor of the chicken grilled with cheese that melts in the mouth and all the flavors mixed with crunch of grilled bread.
The sandwich is something you fall in love with, specially the kids. The spice levels are moderate which makes it easy for people who do not enjoy a lot of spice. So, after we returned home, I had to give this lovely sandwich a try. The few things that I changed included the spice level [which is optional] and the size of the bread. The sandwich we had was a part of french long bread and I find that a little hard, since it gets more crunchy and a hard texture once it is grilled. swapped the Long French bread with the hot dog buns, they kind of make it easier for kids to hold, and also the softness of the bread soaks more juices from the chicken making the sandwich more flavorful.
