Hot & Sweet Chicken Banh Mi

Step 5: Assemble the sandwich

Remaining sandwich components

  • Baguettes, 4-6
  • Cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • Cilantro, chopped
  • Jalapeños, thinly sliced
  • Mayonnaise
  • Maggi Seasoning

From previous steps

  • Pickled carrots & daikon
  • Seared chicken
  • Chile garlic honey

Thinly slice the chicken thighs across the grain.

Slice open the baguettes, but don’t go all the way through, leaving a “hinge” on one side. Optionally scrape out some of the bread from the interior to make more room for fillings.

First, slather mayo on both insides of the bread, then a thin layer of the chili garlic paste, and a few dashes of Maggi seasoning all around. Layer in a portion of sliced chicken, fresh vegetables, and finally, pickled carrots and radishes.

Close the sandwiches and enjoy.
