Instructions

Get a gas grill started on medium heat or use a cast iron pan on stove on medium heat. They both work great.
Season the thighs liberally on both sides with the blackened spice. Use 1/2 Tbsp per chicken thigh.
Cut ends off shishito peppers and slice red onion.
Cook Chicken thighs until 165f internal temperature. About 20 minutes on the gas grill or about 15 on the stove top. Flip Chicken at halfway point. Don't cook the chicken on high heat - take the time to cook it on medium so it doesn't burn.
During last 2 minutes of cooking place cheese on top of each thigh. Cover grill to melt it or place 1 Tbsp of water in the stove pan and cover. Both ways will give an excellent cheese melt.
Plate chicken pieces and set aside. While grill is hot and if desired brown the brioche rolls for 30 seconds.
Cook shishito peppers in a pan on medium - high heat for 3-5 minutes to get a nice blister then remove pan from heat.
Assemble sandwich - Place bbq sauce on both sides of bun. Next place chicken on bun, then red onion. Finally add the shishito peppers and top bun. Enjoy!
