Steps:

• Wash, clean and slice your chicken into pieces that are just slightly larger than your bread/rolls. (I butterfly mine and then split it halfway producing 4 pieces per breast)
• In a large bowl or baking dish, mix the milk into the cooled pickle juice brine (made from water, distilled white vinegar, fresh dill, raw organic sugar, salt, garlic, red pepper flakes and black peppercorns) and pour over the chicken fillets, ensuring that the pieces are fully submerged in the liquid. Set the chicken into the refrigerator for at least two hours.
• Add the spices (salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, raw organic sugar, garlic powder and potato starch) to a high powdered blender or grinder and blend until combined into a fine powder.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat each piece dry. Cover the back and front of each fillet in a (light) coat of olive oil and an even coating of the spice blend.
• Spritz a grill pan or grill plate with a light coating of oil. You can also cook this on a BBQ grill or even a flattop if you like.
• Grill the chicken until cooked and grill /sear marks form. Once cooked, remove and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
• Grilled Chicken: Slice a Hawaiian Roll in half and place lettuce, tomato, a piece of grilled chicken, and finally the top bun to complete this sandwich.Club Sandwich: Add freshly sliced cheese (I love Colby for this recipe) and 1-2 bacon slices to the Grilled Chicken version before setting the top bun into place.Condiments: Homemade Mayonnaise or a clean eat honey BBQ sauce pairs perfectly.
