  • Total Time: 25 mins
  • Yield: 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken tenders (grilled, fried, or baked)
  • 4 hoagie rolls or soft sandwich buns
  • 1/2 cup tangy South Carolina mustard-based BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup chopped pickles (bread and butter or dill)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce or coleslaw
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Hot sauce for an extra kick

Instructions

  1. Season raw chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Grill, bake, or fry until golden and fully cooked (about 5–7 minutes per side). Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Lightly toast hoagie rolls in a skillet or oven for 2–3 minutes until the edges are crispy.
  4. Spread honey mustard sauce on the bottom bun. Place a chicken tender on top and drizzle with South Carolina mustard BBQ sauce.
  5. Layer with lettuce or coleslaw, red onions, and chopped pickles. Add hot sauce if desired.
  6. Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie or frozen tenders for a shortcut.
  • Bread and butter pickles add sweetness; dill offers a classic tang.
  • Swap coleslaw for lettuce to add extra crunch and flavor.
