- 1 Tbsp (12g) - Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp (8g) - Smoked Paprika
- 2 tsp (8g) - Onion Powder
- 2 tsp (8g) - Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp (2g) - Dried Oregano
- Salt & Pepper
Herby Mayonnaise -
- 150g (5.2oz) - Mayonnaise
- 10g (0.3oz) - Fresh Dill, Chopped
- 10g (0.3oz) - Flat Leaf or Curly Parsley, Chopped
- Salt & Pepper
Bread and Fillings -

- 1-2 - Tomatoes, Thinly Sliced
- 1 - Baby Cos, Romaine, Leaves Separated & Washed

Instructions
- Preheat your charcoal or gas BBQ to direct heat at 240 °C (470 °F). Alternatively, you can do this in a pan, oven, or air fryer.
- In a bowl, add the chicken and seasoning and mix to combine.
- Add all of the herby mayonnaise ingredients to a bowl and mix to combine. Check and adjust the seasoning. Place in an airtight container or jar and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden, with an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F). If you’d like to add cheese, do so at this point. Remove and rest for 5 minutes.
- Toast the buns or sandwich bread on the BBQ until lightly toasted. Spread one side with the herby mayonnaise and the other with another sauce of your choice. I went with a nice tomato relish: place lettuce, tomato, grilled chicken, and red onion. Close the sandwich and serve. Dig in.
