# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise for even thickness. In a large bowl, whisk together dill pickle juice, whole milk, powdered sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
02 -
Add prepared chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for best flavor development.
03 -
In a small bowl, thoroughly whisk mayonnaise, sweet barbecue sauce, honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and smoked paprika until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until assembly.
04 -
Preheat grill to medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill, turning occasionally, until internal temperature at thickest part reaches 74°C (165°F), approximately 12–15 minutes. Place one slice of cheese atop each chicken breast in the final minute to melt.
05 -
Slice sandwich buns. On the bottom half, layer lettuce and tomato, followed by grilled chicken with melted cheese. Add two halves of bacon per sandwich. Spread honey roasted BBQ sauce on the underside of the top bun. Cap the sandwich and serve immediately.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure chicken reaches 74°C (165°F) internally for safe consumption and optimal juiciness.
02 -
The honey roasted BBQ sauce can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
03 -
Store leftover components separately in airtight containers; assembled sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh.
