Instructions
- To start, cut out the backbone from the chicken with sheers or a sharp knife. Press down hard on the breast bone to break it so the chicken can lay nice and flat. Pat the entire chicken dry.
- Season the outside of the chicken with a sweet BBQ rub. Pull up the skin around the breast and season the inside adding more flavor to the meat. Make sure to get all sides.
- Preheat the grill to 375 degrees and set it for indirect heat.
- Grill the chicken until the breast registers an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
- Remove it from the grill and let it rest for10-15 minutes.
- To make the buffalo sauce: in a saucepan, add Franks hot sauce, a stick of butter and garlic powder. Simmer the ingredients over low heat until the sauce thickens.
- To make pickled onion: slice the entire red onion and move the sliced pieces into a mason jar. In a sauce pan, bring to a boil, water, white vinegar, and peppercorns. Pour the mixture into the mason jar and seal shut.
- Using heat resistant gloves, shred the chicken.
- Place the meat into a large bowl and pour in the buffalo sauce. Mix the ingredients together.
- Toast the buns and assemble the shredded buffalo chicken sandwich. Enjoy!
Notes
Use a rotisserie chicken if short on time or don't have a grill.
