Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the chicken

    Cut the 400 g of chicken thighs into small pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

  2. Cook the chicken

    Heat the skillet over medium heat with a little fat. Add the chicken and brown it for 10 min, stirring often.

  3. Add the sauce

    Add the barbecue sauce over the chicken. Mix well and let it simmer for 5 min over low heat.

    Tip · If the barbecue sauce is too thick, add a little water so it mixes in easily and the chicken doesn't dry out.

  4. Make the coleslaw

    Thinly slice the white cabbage (200 g), the carrot and the onion. Put them in a bowl.

  5. Dress the coleslaw

    Add the mayonnaise and cider vinegar. Mix well to coat the veggies.

    Tip · For extra crunch, you can add a grated carrot to the coleslaw.

  6. Toast the buns

    Toast the two burger buns in the hot, dry skillet until lightly golden.

  7. Build the sandwiches

    Divide the barbecue chicken between the buns, then add the coleslaw on top. Close the sandwiches.

How long does it keep?
