Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich Recipe on Blackstone
Fire up your Blackstone and get ready to bring the heat! This Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich is spicy and totally drool-worthy.
I start by seasoning juicy chicken breasts with Spiceology’s Nashville Hot blend and then sear them up on the griddle. Next, I layer with pickles, shredded lettuce, and a slather of spicy mayo all on a brioche bun. It’s bold, it’s messy, and it’s the type of sandwich that makes you want to high-five yourself after every bite. Perfect for weekend cookouts, backyard shindigs or anytime your griddle’s begging for something amazing
What makes this Nashville Chicken Sandwich special?
- Cooking on the Blackstone gives you even crispy texture and keeps the sandwich juicy without the high fat, high calorie content of a fried sandwich.
- The flavors are layered– Brioche buttered and grilled adds sweetness, while pickles and slaw cut through the heat.
- Customizable heat–Use half the seasoning if you’re easing into the heat, or double up if you’re feeling brave.
- Meal-prep friendly–Double the chicken, refrigerate the cooked fillets, and reheat on medium heat—sandwiches feel freshly made every time.
