FABULOUS!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We have made this twice and both times it was OUTSTANDING. We followed the directions and didn't substitute ingredients. Lots... of flavor, just the right heat, so tasty! We also fried the japs with the red peppers, YUM. This is the first recipe that was so good I had to actually take the time to review it. Thanks Guy! This is FABULOUS and we plan to impress our friends!Read more

yum!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is the first recipe, by Guy, that I have made. I marinated the chicken for over a day though. It just happened that... right in the middle of grilling my grill ran outta gas. So into the stove top grill pan it went. It was a good sandwich, lots of flavor. I will try more of his recipes soon.Read more

The Best!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for the first time tonight and it was AWESOME!!!!! I cut the recipe in half cause there was only two of us eating... (I did keep the pepper flakes the same. I love heat!) I also fried up the jalopenos with the red pepper. They were awesome as well. I wasn't a huge Guy fan but my opinion has been changed. Thanks a million!Read more

I pound the chicken breasts a bit to make them grill faster and fry the japs w the peppers. You can also grill them(less... fat). Add Srirachi Asian hot sauce to the mayo for more spice. Don't skip the cabbage-the flavor is mild and the crunch is yummie. Read more

...AND THE CROWD WENT WILD!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Don?t pass this one up! Every Sunday friends gather at the local watering hole, taking turns buying grill food. I wind up... doing the grilling & this week?s choice was chicken. I?m not a fan of chicken breast, especially the boneless/skinless type, so I had to come up w/ something that had great flavor & wouldn?t dry out, I also don?t care for the old soak in Italian dressing bit that everyone seems to think is the greatest thing ever for meat, seriously people? Sandwiches were definitely the way to go. This sounded awesome. By the time the weekend came around I was set to go. Love the marinade, I?m a sucker for anything w/ lime juice & cilantro. I added a bit of extra light olive oil & ran the ingredients through my processor. I didn?t have a fryer handy to do any frying, grill only, so I made an oil & vinegar slaw for crunch with cabbage, red bell pepper, red onion & green onion. Also instead of a plain mayo, I roasted a couple jalapenos & garlic, ran it through the processor w/ lime juice & made a great roasted jalapeno mayo. I offered a choice of provolone or hot pepper cheese. This is perfection on a grilled crusty bun. No disappointments here at all. Read more
