The flavor from the marinade on this chicken is unbelievable. It makes for an absolutely awesome grilled chicken po boy, but the chicken would be just fine eaten by itself. Combine the tender, juicy flavorful chicken with some Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce (or your favorite remoulade), fresh bread, lettuce, tomato and pickle and you have a sandwich you won’t soon forget.
Get Messy With it
I like to really load up on the remoulade sauce. The messier this grilled chicken po boy is, the better it is, is my motto. Plus, that remoulade sauce is fantastic. It has a nice kick to it. I always save that last little end bite of the bread for sopping up any juices that have accumulated on the plate. That’s the best bite of the entire dish right there. Everything in one big old delicious morsel!
If you’re not into messy go light on the remoulade. Or put some in a bowl on the side and dip the sandwich in it instead. Kinda like a French dip but oh so much better!
Also try my very messy grilled chicken and gravy sandwiches.
