Mexican Grilled Chicken - My New Fav Sandwich!

[@Dancedad7]

Dude! I have been an evangelist for a while now. I have made many of the recipes (just the way you do it) and everyone I serve is BLOWN AWAY! This is by far the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. We already have a cabinet dedicated to Cholula and Meat Church, so this was easy. I also agree with everything Mrs. Meat Church tells you, but she is indeed wrong on this. I did the thigh meat and the breast meat. That will never happen again. I always go for white meat with fried chicken, but this sandwich will never be made at my house with anything but the boneless, skinless thighs. I share your site and recipes with everyone, and give your rubs out as gifts. On tap this Fathers Day weekend... The Cheerwine (I live in North Carolina) pulled pork (Cherry pellets on the Traeger) with homemade slaw on Saturday, and salmon with the maple-butter glaze on Sunday. By the way, I have five Meat Church retailers within five miles of me, so life is good!

Love the feedback. Thank you for being here!! -Matt

@@fredstevens129 Buddy I have 35 pits and smokers including 6 offsets if you want to flop them on the table and measure. Don’t bring a water gun to this fight. PS - you’ll life will be way better when you quit worrying what type of smoker people choose to use. That’s not the point. One day you’ll look back on the memories you created around good food and it won’t have anything to do with the name brand on the cooker. Be well. Cheers!

[@Dancedad7]

@@MeatChurchBBQ thanks for sticking up for reason and kindness. I love my Traeger, as did the 15 people who came for Father’s Day. Sell your smokers some other way dude. I won’t even Google it now.

[@fredstevens129]

@@MeatChurchBBQ You do indeed have many pits. I've met many a man with many guitars, and they still can't play. But flop away, I''m sure you're just as impressive as the other guys that make such crass references. But seriously, the joke was on the Traeger tin cans, not on you or your other pits. But it's funny how I watch your show and usually enjoy it, but sort of feel like you're pushing Miller Lite and Traeger and I wonder if I'm not watching an infomercial. Yet still I enjoy seeing what you're doing most of the time. The fanboy who "won't even google it" has a serious case of rectal-cranial inversion and apparently has some kind of man crush on you and your enormous...................................................................... number of smokers. LOL Take it light man. Keep making the good BBQ. But seriously...Traeger makes some tin can garbage. But the money is good, eh?

[@jimmyMNSTR_911]

​​@@MeatChurchBBQ​Wow! That was a real ugly response. Whether you are in the right or wrong. You're over here making measuring d!ck references? *How many years old are you? (just hold up the # of fingers).

[@MichaelPaulHenderson]

Escabeche is why. Carrots have a unique capacity to absorb spiciness. For example, if you put sliced carrots into the liquid from pickled jalapenos, the carrots will 'absorb' the spiciness, leaving the liquid much milder, while the carrots will become very spicy and delicious.

[@gregcrisp8743]

Thanks

[@EricPetersen2922]

10000% correct

[@lowdownone]

Yep

[@CraigHollabaugh]

I first learned about carrots and jalapenos in college in the 80s from our booze runs to Juarez. Super delicious.

[@viprcuisine241]

I’m definitely going to do this. Also going to use that brine for some turkey legs too and see how that turns out!!! 🎉

[@sandiegotarheel5911]

Saved this for a couple of weeks and finally tried it yesterday. This is the most awesome chicken sandwich I’ve had in years. Added avocado and jalapeño ranch to mine.

[@247Boredable]

These have been an absolute staple in my meal preps since this video came out. Thank you Matt and the Meat Church team!

[@johnlizadventures6558]

Made these sandwiches last night and they were spot on. I used leftovers tonight to make chopped chicken/cheese sandwiches and they were a step up from the night before to which I will give credit to marinating for another night in the fridge. Another great recipe, thank your buddy Judd for putting you on to this one.

[@Frank-zh1nr]

this recipe is so simple but the flavor is on another level!!!!!

[@huckinator]

I love the music choice as Matt shakes the hot sauce 😂😂😄

Watched this early this morning, made it for dinner tonight. This is an absolute winner of a recipe, everyone in the family loved it!

[@waynediver7956]

Making these for Fathers Day tomorrow. My dad, who is 80 years young, loves anything Jalapeño so, he is getting these tomorrow. Matt, thank you for everything you do! I have tried damn near everything you have done videos on and have not been disappointed once! I am in Montgomery Texas, I have friends that own the bowling center in Waxahachie, I will be visiting the store at some point in the very near future. I use all of your spices (thank God I can get them at Academy). KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MY FRIEND!

[@sleepe361]

That's a good simple lookin sandwich brother. I gotta try this recipe out these skinless thighs are one of my favorite meats to throw on the pit because they stay juicy and delicious.

[@geraldraygor2180]

This sandwich is amazing. Definitely my new go to favorite recipe for chicken sammies. Thanks Matt!

[@Nic-eu3dj]

The fajita rub is one of my go-to's. Great video Matt

[@stevebraswell9942]

Doing this for Father's Day with some homemade slaw, steak fries!👍 Cheers 🍻. Love this Church!

[@kdr082475]

Great recipe. Ton of flavor in this one. Had to make a substitute on the rub because the local bbq supply had everything meat church but the fajita rub. So i used malcombs grande gringo. Turned out fabulous. One of the best recipes ive tried out in a good while.

[@pasillas2112]

This is just how my grandma would make them in the 70s and 80s. So good 😊

[@artherrightus7399]

I love that outdoor kitchen!

[@smokescouts]

Great recipe! That outdoor kitchen back drop at night is second to none.

[@Sweeneybbq]

Love the theme music 😂 Don is on point with the edits as always 👊🏼

[@culpritkirk]

He really is one of the best editors going these days.

[@peteresposito5220]

This was awesome!!!!! My 15 yo daughter loved this and my picky wife. I did ease up on the heat. Only marinated for 12 hrs and used less hot sauce. We used Colby jack cheese and where I’m from we use Hellmans. I garnished with lettuce tomato and pickled onion. Will probably make this once a week.

[@brettsilbe9886]

Rocked this chicken tonight. Family loved it! Had to try some Duke's . Best ever!

[@richardrodriguez6837]

Delicious! The family loved it!

[@rudder645]

Matt - HOLY GOODNESS, we just made this and it will be my go to chix sandwich from here on. We were out of Fiesta, so used Voodoo, gave it even more of a kick but not too much. The warden does not like spicy and she was in love with it. Tell your Volleyball dad he is the man for sharing!!!

[@cfadave]

Matt- another crowd favorite! So friggin’ good! Thanks

[@jaysonescoe5799]

Jesus man. Can you make me cry!! Love me some Cholula….. definitely will be doing this over the weekend!!!

[@nixternal]

DUDE! I just made this, OH MY GOD! Without a doubt the BEST chicken I have had that wasn't fried of course, and even then it is close to that. Only difference is I seasoned the dry chicken, 15 minutes before cooking with: Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Chili Powder, Ground Cumin, and Paprika. I also used the green hot sauce as I like it better. It was so freaking good! And so simple to do. I did it on my gas grill and I can't freaking wait to do that again. Holy hell man, thank you KZbin algorithm for popping this video up the other day. I think I will turn the left overs in to either fajitas or chicken quesadillas. So good man, cheers!

[@HTimmay]

Love that you threw the jalapeños on as well. I was eyeballing those.

[@OverlandTravelAdventures]

Don’t watch Meat Church before bed! Drooling. Can’t wait to try this one!

[@scottangus3554]

I made these chicken sandwiches last night and you're right! The whole family was head heels over them. It's now on the short list for weekly dinner.

[@oldmanpete35]

I made these Super Bowl weekend! They were a hit! Thanks!

[@andrewbell7502]

Made 2 times , just easy and wow good. I reduced some of the pickling brine and the number of jalapenos , due to some people I grill for are high spice adversed . Used 3/4 and I could taste some spice 1st time. There was hardly any spice the 2nd time. Will be making on regular rotation, I grilled the chicken over lump charcoal , FANTASTIC !

[@johnsimons704]

Just made this tonight. Maybe best chicken thighs ever had. Added a touch of honey to the baste for caramelization. Soooo good.

[@bassfury9241]

Man I made it today on my pit boss and it was amazing and my wife loved it thanks 👍

[@scottsmith1897]

Tried this recipe as I had all the ingredients and yes it was the bomb............ not hot at all but had a great kick to it. Love the fajita seasoning........... the pulled pork tacos are the bomb also with this seasoning. Thanks for the awesome recipes!!!!!

[@conradbennett3251]

Best video that I've seen in the bbq world in a while. Thanks for sharing, I'm definitely making this!!! Love your channel!

Looks great! Seems like a perfect opportunity to use that beautiful Santa Maria. Would love to see some videos of you using that.

[@AMG19610]

Just brined chicken thighs overnight(about 24 hours) in Mrs Renfro’s jalapeño. I didn’t do the butter/hot sauce thing… but they were absolutely perfect. Thanks for the great idea!

[@LITTLEROCK2517]

Yo

[@zspred]

just made this tonight! This is FIRE! Simple with amazing flavor! Was a little worried it was going to have a little to much jalapeño flavor after marinating for 24 hours, but not at all! Cheers!

[@smdftb8495]

Made these tonight. Used pepper jack and added a little thin red onion. Good stuff, Matt!

[@timmytubow7651]

A cook where we stayed in Cancun yrs ago made this sandwich for us and we were instantly hooked. He showed us his secret and were even more blown away. Best chicken sandwich EVER

[@resolutesportsperformance2751]

I made these tonight. Slight variations with seasoning and used tapatio instead. Brother these are good.

[@waynepage4427]

Mad respect. Love your products and videos. Everything I try is 🔥

[@bcoz6630]

Made these on the Weber kettle last night. Outstanding! Love the way the jalapeno marinade goes right through chicken thighs giving you a Flavorful bite every time. 👍👍

[@danielbarrett3434]

Fajita seasoning is my favorite rub. I pair it with a sweet rub on the pork I cook and I use it as a standalone. Such a great rub.

[@logansspeedshop7900]

BRO. Just made these with a buddy over some mesquite lump charcoal. Best grilled chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. Will be making this weekly

[@robertbernal3180]

Looks super delicious 👍 I love to eat the spicy carrots . simple recipe but looks amazing

[@bradcobb9866]

Man was this a great sandwich! Blew me away. Will be making this for friends and family for sure. I did however add a little honey to the sauce just to put my own twist on it. My son swears by your spices. I have never used them and have always made my own. But look for an order from me soon. Thanks so much for the recipe. Brad Cobb

Made it this evening. Used a zip lock, marinated 24 hrs, cooked on Traeger, basted with Cholula butter and everything just like shown here. Was the bomb-diggitty! Didn't make sandwiches,just as is with sides. Everyone absolutely loved it. Taste was weirdly reminiscent of hot wings, and we love hot wings. Such a cheap meal too, give this a try. Definitely putting this on regular rotation.

[@thetattooedtrader9816]

How long did you smoke them for in the Traeger? What temp as well?

I made this today in my smoker. I let the chicken thighs marinate for 24 hours, I threw the Cholula and butter into a small cast iron Dutch oven style pot (about the size of the one you used) along with a few gloves of smashed garlic (peel and all), and put all of it in the smoker too. Basted the chicken every so often with the sauce. Damn they came out awesome!
