Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine low sodium buttermilk, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix together the low sodium hot sauce and low sodium mayonnaise.
Step 7
Toast the whole wheat burger buns until golden brown.
Step 8
Assemble the sandwich by spreading the spicy mayo mixture on both halves of the buns.

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
