Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Assembly
- 6 slices of bread or buns
- Cabbage, to taste
- Tomatoes, sliced, to taste
- Shallots, sliced, to taste
- Mayonnaise, to taste
- Sriracha sauce, to taste
Chicken Marinade
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes
- 1/2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 10 oz chicken breast
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine salt, dried chili flakes, dark brown sugar, and oyster sauce. Mix until the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breast to the marinade and coat it thoroughly. Cover and let the chicken rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor penetration.
- Preheat and Oil the Grill: Preheat your charcoal grill or grilling pan. Lightly brush the grill surface with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking during cooking.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook each side for 4–7 minutes, depending on thickness. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165 °F (74 °C) for safe consumption.
- Rest and Slice: Remove the grilled chicken and let it rest for a few minutes to retain juices. Then slice into thin strips for sandwich assembly.
- Prepare the Sauce and Vegetables: Mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to taste. Prepare your choice of vegetables such as sliced tomatoes, shredded cabbage, and thinly sliced shallots. Optionally, cook a fried egg to add to the sandwich.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the sriracha mayo on bread or buns. Layer the sliced grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and optional fried egg. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your spicy Thai-style chicken sandwich.
