Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 30 ml fish sauce
- 30 ml lime juice
- 30 grams brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 baguettes, split lengthwise
- 80 ml mayonnaise
- 1 medium daikon radish, julienned
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 60 ml rice vinegar
- 25 grams granulated sugar
- 5 grams salt
- 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
- 30 grams fresh cilantro
- 1 fresh jalapeño, sliced
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and garlic together to create the marinade.
Add chicken thighs into the marinade, covering them well. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix julienned daikon and carrot with rice vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt. Let it sit for 30 minutes to pickle.
Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from the marinade and grill each side for about 5-6 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is resting, lightly toast the baguettes in the oven or on a hot skillet until crispy.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each baguette half.
Slice the grilled chicken thighs thinly.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering sliced chicken, pickled vegetables, cucumber, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices onto the baguettes.
Slice each baguette into desired serving sizes and serve immediately.
