# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create thin fillets.
02 -
Combine pickle juice and milk in a bowl. Submerge chicken fillets and marinate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
03 -
Mix mayonnaise, honey, BBQ sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
04 -
Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
05 -
Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Grill each side for 4-5 minutes until internal temperature reaches 74°C.
06 -
During the final minute of grilling, place a slice of cheese on each fillet and allow it to melt.
07 -
Lightly butter the cut sides of buns and toast them in a hot skillet or on the grill until golden and crisp.
08 -
Spread honey BBQ mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Layer lettuce and tomato, then add grilled chicken with melted cheese. Top with crispy bacon and more sauce if desired, then cap with the top bun.
09 -
Serve immediately while hot and juicy.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Marinating chicken longer improves flavor and tenderness.
02 -
Chilling the sauce allows flavors to meld.
03 -
Toasting buns prevents sogginess and enhances texture.
