- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/4 cup Oil
- 2 Tbl Rotisserie Seasoning
- 1 tsp Chicken Powder
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt & Lemon Juice, each
Breads
Use Ciabata or Kaiser Rolls. Hamburger buns can also be used. Butter both sides of the buns and toast them first in a pan set over medium heat. Then slather that sauce on the top bun. Ciabata is really very nice for offering that chew aspect. Toasted Kaisers Buns are nice too, or opt for a burger style with hamburger buns.
Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich Sauce
There are a few sauces that can be used. The main one used is Deluxe Sauce, which is also used on the deluxe burger, made of the following ingredients:
- 1/2 C Mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp Rotisserie Seasoning, Vinegar, or Lemon Juice
- Optional / few dashes of liquid smoke for a smokey flavor
Another one is the combination of mayonnaise & Pappy BBQ Sauce for a BBQ-style. The Smokey Mesquite Sauce in the Rotisserie Chicken Wrap Recipe used for the Swiss Chalet Chicken Wrap,
is really good too and outlined below.
- 1/4 C Mayo
- 1 tsp Aioli or more
- Few dashes of Liquid Smoke Mesquite
Toppings
Shredded lettuce with thinly sliced onions and tomatoes is the go-to for toppings. Additional toppings can be added to your liking. Such as bacon, cheese, cucumbers, pickles, peppers, arugula, or spinach.
HOW TO DOUBLE GRILL CHICKEN BREAST
A 1/2-inch-thick chicken breast, or slightly thinner, cooked in a double-sided grill or panini grill, will take about 5-8 minutes to cook through to prime juiciness. Look for an internal temperature of 157°F – 165°F and allow the chicken to rest.
Besides being served on ciabata for a rotisserie chicken sandwich. This can be served whole on toasted burger buns or without any buns at all and instead with a lettuce leaf. It can also be sliced and served over a salad.
How to Sear Rotisserie Seasoned Chicken Fillets
Once the buns are toasted over medium heat, the pan will be hot and ready for searing. Add enough fat to cover the bottom of the pan. Place chicken fillets in to sear for 3 minutes per side. Then sear an additional 2 minutes per side. Use more rotisserie seasoning to season if needed. Ensure the internal temperature is 157°F to 165°F. Check with a thermometer inserted in the thickest part and repeat searing if needed.
The rotisserie seasoning does so well with fat. Because of that, searing really does produce the best results. Whether you marinate the chicken fillets or just season them with rotisserie seasoning, you will want a good amount of fat in the pan to sear.
Cleanup: When done searing the chicken, fill the pan up with a bit of water and place back over heat. Scrape the bottom to loosen everything up and shut the heat off. This will make for easier clean up later.
Grilled Rotisserie Chicken Burger
Rotisserie seasoned chicken fillets grilled in a double press grill to top toasted hamburger buns with sauce and toppings.
Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich on Ciabatta
