2. Preparing the Spicy Chicken:

a) Season the Chicken:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
  2. Coat both sides of the chicken breasts with the spice mixture.
  3. If desired, drizzle the chicken with a little hot sauce for extra heat.

b) Cook the Chicken:

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

3. Assemble the Sandwiches:

  1. Slice each garlic bun in half horizontally.
  2. On the bottom half of each bun, add a generous portion of spicy chicken strips.
  3. Top with fresh shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, red onions, and a few sliced jalapeños (if you want extra spice).
  4. Spread some sour cream or mayo on the top bun to balance out the heat and add a creamy contrast.
  5. Garnish with a few sprigs of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of freshness.

🥄 Tips for Success:

  • Use fresh garlic powder for the best flavor in the buns.
  • If you prefer a milder version, reduce the cayenne pepper and jalapeños in the chicken and toppings.
  • Feel free to swap out the toppings based on your preferences. Avocado, pickled onions, or cheese could be great additions!
  • Make ahead: You can prepare the garlic buns a day in advance and store them in an airtight container. Just reheat them in the oven before serving.
