Dilled Cajun Chicken Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, hot sauce, honey, cumin, garlic, lime juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the chicken into a re-sealable bag and pour the buttermilk marinade over. Marinate in the fridge, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until cooked through and 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Place the cheese on the bottom of each roll, then top with 2 chicken thighs, lettuce and a dollop of Cajun Ranch Dressing.
• In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, hot sauce, lemon juice, blackening seasoning, mustard, salt and cayenne. Fold in the scallions, celery, red peppers and garlic with the mayonnaise mixture.

Steps:

• In a large shallow dish, mix the oil, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and lemon pepper. Place the chicken in the dish, and turn to coat with the mixture. Cover, and refrigerate for 1/2 hour.
• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Drain chicken, and discard marinade. Place chicken on hot grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear.

Steps:

• Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. Brush both sides with oil. Combine the seasonings; rub over both sides of chicken. Arrange in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. , Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink. Serve on rolls with tomato and lettuce.

Steps:

• Brine the chicken: Combine 4 cups water, 2/3 cup salt, and the brown sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and whisk until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Turn off the heat and transfer to a bowl or pot large enough to submerge the chicken. Stir in 6 cups of ice water and let cool completely. Submerge the chicken in the cooled brine, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• Take the chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Remove from the brine and pat dry completely.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Whisk together the paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Brush the chicken all over with the melted butter, and then pat on all of the dry rub mixture.
• Grill the chicken: Place the chicken breast-side up on the indirect side of the grill, with the legs facing the hotter side of the grill. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads at least 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone), 50 to 60 minutes. The chicken will be quite dark and blackened in spots.
• Remove from the grill and let rest on a cutting board for at least 20 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Rinse chicken; pat dry.
• Place each breast, boned side up, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap.
• Working from center to edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a mallet until chicken is just less than 1/2 inch thick.
• Brush with oil; sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.
• Grill or broil as directed.
• Spread buns with Thousand Island salad dressing mixed with a few dashes bottled hot pepper sauce.
• Top with roasted or fresh red sweet pepper strips, lettuce, and bun tops.
• Makes 4 servings.
• To cook by direct grill method: Arrange chicken on a grill rack.
• Grill, uncovered, directly over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes or until no pink remains, turning once.
• Add cheese the last 2 minutes of grilling.
• To broil: Arrange the chicken on an unheated broiler pan.
• Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until no pink remains, turning once.
• Add cheese the last minute of cooking.

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, combine all ingredients except oil and chicken breast halves; mix well. Brush oil over all sides of chicken. Sprinkle with seasoning mixture.
• When grill is heated, place chicken on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear, turning once.
