Chicken Marinade
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes
- 1/2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 10 oz chicken breast
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes, 1/2 tablespoon dark brown sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce. Stir to blend all ingredients thoroughly.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add 10 ounces of chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover and let the chicken rest for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor infusion.
- Preheat the Grill: Prepare your grill, either charcoal or a grilling pan, and apply a light layer of oil to prevent sticking. Heat the grill to medium-high.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook each side for approximately 4–7 minutes, depending on thickness. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165 °F (74 °C) for safe consumption.
- Rest and Slice Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for several minutes. Then, slice the chicken thinly to prepare for sandwich assembly.
- Prepare Sandwich Components: While the chicken rests, mix mayonnaise with sriracha sauce to your preferred spice level. Also, fry an egg if desired and prepare the vegetables by slicing cabbage, tomatoes, and shallots.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the spicy mayo on bread or buns, layer with grilled chicken slices, fresh cabbage, tomatoes, shallots, and optionally your fried egg. Serve immediately while warm.
