Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches with Charred Green Onion Sauce
Chicken thighs often have the advantage of being sold boneless and skinless at the grocery store, allowing for quick and even cooking. This therefore makes them the perfect cut for sandwiches for weeknight meals in the backyard. The meat is first quickly marinated in an oil and vinegar mix. This helps loosen the chicken’s muscle fibres slightly, making the meat more tender and flavourful in just 15 minutes. With a charred-green-onion mayo, it’ll be your new seasonal favourite.

Grilled Chicken Legs with North Carolina Barbecue Sauce
The Southern United States is known for its grilling mastery. For this recipe, we drew inspiration from North Carolina, where a distinctive style of barbecue sauce was invented. Made with a generous amount of vinegar to help preserve the meat, it’s a far cry from the thick, smoky and sweet sauces more typical of Texas-style barbecue. In true North Carolina fashion, the tangy sauce is brushed onto the chicken as it cooks, and served on the side for extra punch. To ensure tender, flavourful meat, brine the chicken beforehand with salt and spices. It’s a Southern classic worth discovering… or rediscovering.
