Winner, winner chicken…sandwich?! Ok, so maybe rhyming’s not our thing, but delicious chicken sandwiches, they’re absolutely our jam! Toasty brioche buns get layered with melty Gouda topped chicken, smoky-sweet and spicy barbecue sauce, candied bacon (oh, yeah!), and creamy slaw. Crispy potato wedges are served alongside more tangy slaw and honey mustard mayo for dipping and dunking. Cue the finger lickin’ and toe tapping.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Halve buns.

Roast Potatoes & Bacon
2

• Line a baking sheet with foil; toss potatoes on one side of sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the Fry Seasoning (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. Add bacon* to empty side and sprinkle with brown sugar. • Roast on top rack until potatoes are browned and tender and bacon is crispy, 20-25 minutes. (For 4 servings, divide between 2 foil-lined sheets; roast potatoes on top rack and bacon on middle rack.)

Make Slaw
3

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, scallions, sour cream, half the mayonnaise, 1 TBSP vinegar, and 1 tsp white sugar (for 4 servings, use a large bowl, 2 TBSP vinegar, and 2 tsp white sugar). Season with salt and pepper.

Mix Sauces
4

• In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine BBQ sauce, chili powder, and remaining vinegar. Microwave until slightly thickened, 30 seconds (45 seconds for 4 servings). • In a separate small bowl, combine honey Dijon dressing with remaining mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook Chicken & Toast Buns
5

• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with remaining Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes per side. • While chicken cooks, toast buns until golden. • Once chicken is almost done, top with gouda; cover pan with lid to melt cheese, 30-60 seconds.

Finish & Serve
6

• Spread cut sides of buns with BBQ sauce. Fill buns with chicken, bacon, and a spoonful of slaw. • Divide sandwiches, potato wedges, and remaining slaw (draining first) between plates. Serve with honey mustard mayo on the side for dipping.

Bacon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

We loved this meal. The bacon with brown sugar elevated the chicken. Frying the chicken with the pan kept the chicken moist and tender. I normally don't care for the coleslaw but it was terrific. All in all it was a very enjoyable meal.

Personally because of the different sized cuts of chicken, both sandwiches were not as equally enjoyable. However the flavors were awesome and loved the coleslaw. I might try to shred the chicken and toss in bbq next time.

This was really delicious! I don't usually eat coleslaw, but this was good. Adding brown sugar to the bacon was needed because it's usually bland with no flavor. I will order again!

Oh my gosh I'm obsessed with this one! Definitely keep an eye on the bacon because it cooks fast, but the flavors are top notch!

Wow! One of the best sandwiches I've ever had and I made it! A little high on the calorie side for my liking but every once in a while is okay.

Took a bit of time to prepare, so definitely not a week night meal, but very tasty. Chicken was juicy and tender. One of the best meals we have ordered so far.

The combo of flavors was very good BUT the chicken had a weird texture and cooking the potatoes on the same pan as the bacon, the potatoes don't get crispy.

Crazy good! The slaw was a perfect side and was fantastic. The sweet bacon went so well with the chicken.
