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 well to create a balanced marinade that provides salty, sweet, and spicy flavors.
- Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken breast to the marinade and thoroughly coat each piece. Cover and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor penetration.
- Preheat the grill: Heat a charcoal grill or a grilling pan, and brush it lightly with oil to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Grill the chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook each side for about 4–7 minutes depending on thickness, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165 °F (74 °C) for safe consumption.
- Rest and slice the chicken: Allow the grilled chicken to rest a few minutes off the heat before slicing it thinly to keep it tender and juicy.
- Prepare the spicy mayo: Mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce according to your preferred heat level to make the sandwich spread.
- Assemble the sandwich: Toast the bread or buns, spread the sriracha mayo generously, add sliced grilled chicken, cabbage, tomato slices, and shallots. Add any additional veggies you like.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your Thai-inspired spicy grilled chicken sandwich warm for the best flavor and texture.
