There is one thing for sure, Zach and I love to grill all year round. We are those people. The people that stand outside in negative temperatures with our hats and mittens on grilling up our favorite foods! I am not ashamed. It’s just the greatest! Throw some barbecue into the mix? My, oh my. I could just go on and on. I think that the idea of grilling in the winter has some people afraid, afraid of that frigid cold, but what I love about it is the reminder that summer is not too far away. Who doesn’t absolutely love the flavors of summer!?

So I have to say, when Kraft released their new line of barbecue sauces and introduced the Evergriller Grill ‘N’ Flip Mitt, we were pretty excited. I think Zach was just about jumping up for joy when he got to put the Evergriller Grill ‘N’ Flip Mitt to use. No more searing those finger tips! Oh, and an added bonus is that it keeps your hand warm while your grilling! Uh, hello! Genius!

Sweet Honey Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches

Servings:

6 chicken sandwiches

Nutritional information is only an estimate. The accuracy of the nutritional information for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup Kraft Sweet Honey Barbecue Sauce
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • salt and black pepper
  • non-stick canola oil spray
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 6 poppy seed buns lightly toasted
  • 6 green leaf lettuce leaves
  • 2 large heirloom tomatoes sliced
  • 12 pre-packaged frozen onion rings cooked per manufacturer's instructions
  • 12 slices fully-cooked bacon crispy

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Kraft Sweet Honey Barbecue Sauce, orange juice, garlic powder and crushed red pepper. Set aside or refrigerate until you are ready to use.
  • Preheat your grill to medium. While your grill is preheating, season your chicken thighs generously with salt and black pepper. Spray each side with a non-stick canola oil spray.
  • Grill your chicken thighs for approximately 9-10 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. With 2-3 minutes left of cooking time, baste on the barbecue sauce you prepared earlier on each side, fully coating the chicken thighs (Make sure you leave at least 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce as you will be adding it to your sandwiches at the end). Once cooked through, place a slice of Swiss cheese onto each chicken thigh and close the grill for about a minute, or until the cheese has melted. Remove the chicken from the grill and set aside to rest for just a minute or two.
  • Assemble your sweet honey barbecue chicken sandwiches by layering the lettuce leaves, tomatoes, chicken thighs, onion rings, bacon and more of your already prepared barbecue sauce.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
