Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim and halve cucumber lengthwise; thinly slice into half-moons. Cut potato into ½-inch-thick wedges. Roughly chop cilantro, including tender stems.
-
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine carrots, cucumber, vinegar, ½ tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt (1 tsp sugar and a big pinch of salt for 4 servings). Microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally.
-
Toss potato on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes.
-
While potato roasts, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; season with half the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, 3-4 minutes. Stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 3-4 minutes more. Turn off heat; stir in chili sauce until chicken is coated.
-
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Halve baguettes and toast until golden.
-
Drain off liquid from pickled veggies; stir in cilantro.
-
Spread cut sides of baguettes with as much spicy mayo as you like. Fill with chicken, about half the pickled veggies, and crispy fried onions.
-
Divide sandos, potato wedges, and remaining pickled veggies between plates. Serve with garlic aioli on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Easy to cook and so delicious. I cut the potatoes in to "chips" instead of wedges. The chips with the garlic aoli was a knock out.
Way better than I expected, and also quite quick to make as well. The garlic aioli went well with the potatoes.
Pretty good, but the sandwiches tasted better with the garlic aioli on the bread rather than the spicy mayo sauce that came pre-packaged with the meal
Great new meal! We would definitely eat this again! We didn't need all the mayo for dipping, but my husband appreciated the extra to put (more) on his sandos...lol!
Potatoes are a bit bland but overall very yummy! The only thing I would add is more Thai Chili sauce because it was so good.
Tasted so good. Potato serving (2 potatoes) was a bit small for a serving of 4
Tastes amazing! Only changes I would suggest are having the bread pre cut and a little more guidance on how to cut the potato
This was amazing! I didn't use the spicy Mayo and just did plain Mayo and then added Swiss cheese to it- really really loved this! (Also added vinegar to the pickling vegetables because there is NOT enough included!)
More sauce but overall good. We just made more. Do wish more meat. Not enough for 4 people. Three of them males
Good flavor, unique sandwich but didn't stay together very good. Would have been better with a different, bigger, better quality roll or dig out some of the insides of the roll.
