Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- kosher salt and pepper
- ½ cup your favorite BBQ sauce, plus more for topping
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- brioche buns, for serving
mango slaw
- 1 small cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 mango, thinly sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- kosher salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler on your oven to high and make sure there is an oven rack right below it.
- Season the chicken thighs all over with salt and pepper and place them on a baking sheet.
- Place the sheet directly under the broiler. Broil for 6 minutes. Flip the chicken and broil for 6 minutes more.
- After 6 minutes, brush a layer of BBQ sauce onto the chicken. Broil for 1 minute. Flip and brush the other side, then broil for 1 minute more. You can repeat this one or two more times until the chicken is cooked through. It should be 165 degrees F internally.
- Place the chicken in the bowl of your electric mixer. You can also just shred this by hand or with forks, etc - but wait until it cools somewhat. It doesn’t need to cool before going into the mixer.
- Turn the mixer on medium-low speed. As the chicken is shredding, add in the paprika, garlic powder and chili powder. Continue to mix until the spices are evenly distributed.
- Add in ½ cup BBQ sauce and continue to mix. You can add more sauce than this if you’d like at this point!
- Take the chicken and pile it on a brioche bun. Top with the mango slaw. Enjoy!
mango slaw
- Place the cabbage, mango, red onion and cilantro in a large bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, honey and olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper. Season the slaw all over with salt and pepper too. Pour the dressing over the slaw, tossing it together. Let it sit for 5 minutes and toss it again. Serve on top of the chicken sandwiches.
