Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 teaspoons sriracha
• 1 large carrot
• 1 medium daikon radish
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup warm water
• 4 mini (about 6 inches each) baguettes
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 small bunch cilantro
• 1 large jalapeño
• 1 small cucumber
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, minced garlic, and sriracha to prepare the chicken marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare the pickled vegetables. Julienne the carrot and daikon radish. In a small bowl, mix warm water, white vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Add the vegetables to the mixture and let them sit for at least 20 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side until they are fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, and slice them into strips.

Step 5

While the chicken rests, slice the mini baguettes in half lengthwise and lightly toast them in the oven or on the grill.

Step 6

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each baguette. Layer with sliced cucumber, pickled vegetables, grilled chicken, cilantro sprigs, and thinly sliced jalapeño.

Step 7

Close the baguette and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spicy Chicken Banh Mi sandwiches!
