We’re huge fans of Cutty’s in Boston from husband and wife team Rachel and Charles Kelsey. And we’re especially fond of their spicy chicken sandwich recipe made with NEW Heinz® Mayonnaise.The chicken gets a kick of heat from an overnight brine and is then grilled and stacked atop Heinz® Mayonnaise slathered pain de mie and finished with housemade dill pickles, cheddar cheese, and shredded iceberg. Now THAT’s a chicken sando!

Preparation

  1. Chicken Prep

    Step 1

    Combine the first 7 ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the salt and blend the mixture until smooth. Set aside and cool. Add the chicken to the cooled marinade and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Grill the chicken until lightly charred on the outside and 175°. Let rest.

    Spread about 1 tablespoon Heinz® Mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Divide the chicken evenly over 4 slices of bread. Divide the pickles evenly over the chicken, then top each with 1 slice of cheddar and about ½ cup shredded iceberg. Put the second slice of bread on each sandwich, cut in half, and enjoy.
