Prep Time: 6 Hours
Cook Time: 6 Minutes
Instructions
- Begin by marinating the chicken thighs. In a medium bowl, combine chicken thighs with fish sauce, soy sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, scallions, ground pepper, and white wine. Marinate 4-6 hours or over night in refrigerator.
- Pickle veggies. In a medium bowl, combine carrots and radishes with apple cider vinegar, salt and sugar. Refrigerate a minimum of 1 hour.
- Preheat Fire Magic Grill to 450*. Grill chicken thighs 3-4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reads 160*.
- Pull from grill and allow to rest 5 minutes while assembling sandwiches.
- We like to lightly warm or toast our buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes for added texture and flavor.
- Slice bun in half and spread both sides with good quality mayonnaise. Fill bun with chicken, pickled veggies and cilantro. Enjoy!
