Copycat Chic Fil A Sammy

So we all know nothing will beat the convenience of going to a chic fil a or having it delivered. But it’s a Sunday. And you had maybe one too many “mommy juices” the night before. And all you’re thinking about is a chic fil a sammy with that delicious chic fil a sauce (which apparently they sell now but shhh) So here is the next best thing. AND it’s grilled so a little more guilt free.

Chicken marinade:

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp garlic powder

Orange or lemon zest

Marinade chicken at least 20 minutes or overnight

Grill chicken , adding a slice of cheese at the very end to melt on - we used cooper sharp because that’s what we had, but it calls for pepper jack

Honey bbq sauce:

2 Tbsps of honey mustard - I used ken's steakhouse honey mustard

2 Tbsps of bbq sauce - I used Lawry's honey bbq marinade

1/2 tsp liquid smoke

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp black pepper

Mix & keep in fridge until needed

Assemble:

• lightly toast buns in pan with butter

• Add honey bbq sauce to bottom of the bun

• Top with tomato slice (and lettuce if using, we didn’t have any)

• Add chicken with cheese

• Top with bacon * optional

• Add more sauce to top bun if you’d like

*For my bacon I cooked in a pan, sprinkled some black pepper on top and drizzled a little liquid smoke for extra flavor. This is optional but it gave a nice smokiness to the bacon.
