Bold, spicy, and packed with vibrant flavour, this Korean BBQ Chicken Baguette is a crave-worthy twist on a classic sandwich. Tender marinated chicken is seared until caramelized, then layered onto a crisp ACE Bakery® White Baguette with tangy kimchi, fresh herbs, and crunchy sesame bean sprouts. Finished with a creamy gochujang mayo, every bite delivers the perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and freshness.
Ingredients1 ACE Bakery® White Baguette.1 lb skinless chicken breasts and thighs1 cup bean sprouts1 tsp. sesame oil¼ tsp. kosher salt1 tbsp. vegetable oil4 pieces leaf lettuce½ cup kimchi, thinly sliced4 sprigs cilantro4 cloves minced garlic¼ cup soy sauce1½ tbsp. gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)1 tbsp. rice vinegar1½ tbsp. brown sugar1 tbsp. honey1 tsp. sesame oil¼ tsp. freshly grated ginger¼ cup mayonnaise1 tsp. gochujang.
InstructionsSlice chicken breasts and thighs into strips 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.In a large bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken strips and stir to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for an hour in the refrigerator.Blanche the bean sprouts quickly in a pot of boiling water and then dunk in a bowl of ice water to cool down and stop the cooking. Drain well, shaking off the excess water. Toss with sesame oil and salt.Heat a little of the vegetable oil in a grill pan or heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken in batches and cook for 2 minutes until golden brown, turn over and grill until cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Clean the pan between batches because the soy and the sugars can char easily in the pan. Reduce the temperature if this happens.To assemble each sandwich, cut the baguette into four pieces and slice each piece in half horizontally. Spread the cut sides of the baguette with the Spicy Mayo and layer the bottom piece with leaf lettuce and some of the light and dark grilled chicken. Top with kimchi, marinated bean sprouts and cilantro sprigs.
