Ingredients for Blackened Chicken Sandwich
The ingredient list is pretty simple for these chicken sandwiches. Here’s what you are going to need:
Mix Up the Blackening Spice
The blackening spice is easy to mix up and the spices are pretty common to have on hand.
Add the brown sugar and all the spices to a bowl and mix well. Make sure you don’t have any clumps of brown sugar in your rub.
If you want to shortcut this step, you can buy a jar of blackening spice in the spice aisle instead.
Season and Grill the Chicken
Sprinkle and press in the blackening spice on both sides of the chicken. Make sure you get every bit covered.
Preheat your grill over medium heat. You want to aim for 400 degrees F. Once hot, add the chicken to the grill.
Cook for about 6 minutes per side. Times will depend on the thickness of your chicken. If it’s on the thicker side, 6 minutes will be perfect. If it’s thinner, flip at 3 minutes and go from there.
