1

Butterfly open the 3 chicken breasts using a sharp knife.

Season the chicken breasts with Killer Hogs hot sauce as a binder.

3

Apply a light layer of Malcolm's King Craw seasoning and Cajun Creole garlic butter on the chicken.

4

Turn the chicken over and repeat the seasoning process on the other side.

5

Mix 1/2 cup mayonnaise with 7-10 dashes of hot sauce and a teaspoon each of Cajun Creole garlic butter and Malcolm's King Craw seasoning; refrigerate to let flavors marry.

6

Preheat the Golden's cast iron grill to 450-500 degrees using Royal Oak lump charcoal.

7

Spray the grill grates with cooking spray before placing the chicken on the grill.

8

Grill the chicken for about 4 minutes on each side, flipping and rotating it after 2 minutes for even cooking.

9

Remove the chicken from the grill after a total cook time of about 9 minutes and let it rest.

10

Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayonnaise on both halves of the brioche buns, adding grilled chicken, two pieces of pepper jack cheese, leafy lettuce, and a slice of tomato; add pickles and onions if desired.
