|
1 Package | Pre-Shredded Cabbage & Carrot Slaw Mix |
1 ½ Tbsp | Granulated Sugar |
3 tsp | Extra-Virgin Olive OIl |
4 ½ Tbsp | Apple Cider Vinegar |
½ tsp | Salt |
½ Cup | Green Onions, Chopped |
Instructions:
1) Preheat grill to 350°F.
2) For Coleslaw: Combine sugar, vinegar, olive oil and salt; whisk until sugar dissolves. Toss with coleslaw mix and green onions; let stand 10 minutes then refrigerate until ready to use.
Tip: If you are pressed for time, you can purchase a deli style sweet and sour coleslaw blend.
3) Rub 1 Tbsp of the Chicken Seasoning Rub on each piece of chicken; refrigerate while grill is preheating. Spread the 2 Tbsp butter on both halves of each of the pretzel buns; set aside to toast on the grill.
4) Once grill is fully heated, place chicken over direct heat. Cover and allow chicken to cook on one side for 8 minutes; flip and cook an additional 8 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temp of 165°F. Place fully cooked chicken in a a bowl; set aside.
5) Place the pretzel buns on the grill, butter side down and cover. Toast until a golden brown a slightly crispy; remove immediately.
5) Going back to the chicken: Using two forks, slowly pulled apart into thick shreds. Sprinkle with a little more of the Chicken Seasoning Rub (if desired) and mix in the BBQ sauce; stir until completely coated.
6) To Make Sandwiches: Pile ¼ of the shredded BBQ chicken on the bottom bun then top with ¼ Cup of the sweet sour coleslaw. Add other toppings as desired.
