# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Evenly pound chicken breasts to uniform thickness using a meat tenderizer. If pieces are large, halve them.
02 -
Combine olive oil, kosher salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, buffalo sauce, and honey in a bowl. Toss chicken in marinade, cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour up to 48 hours.
03 -
Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil grates. Grill marinated chicken for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Flip and baste with additional buffalo sauce to caramelize.
04 -
During the final minutes of grilling, place cheese slices on chicken to melt.
05 -
Whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, dried dill, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Combine dressing with iceberg lettuce, red onion, sliced pepperoncini, and sliced tomato.
06 -
Toast brioche buns. Layer grilled chicken with melted cheese, prepared slaw, sliced tomato, and optional mayonnaise on buns. Serve immediately.
