The fail

[CaseT]

So it’s hotter than hot right now which means we don’t use the oven in the house. Really wanted to have a spicy grilled chicken sandwich but we needed buns. So I thought I’ll just bake them on the BabyQ. Well I wasn’t paying attention and I didn’t initially put a buffer between the grate and the buns… needless to say things got a bit crispy! We were able to salvage a few of the tops though and the meal was saved. Next time, I have some ideas to avoid the burnt bun bottom!

Marinated the chicken in Greek yogurt, gochujang sauce, minced garlic, white pepper, gilders mustard, cracked black pepper, lime juice.

Made a Sriracha aioli to go on the bun.

Nice save with the bun tops.
Chicken look great.

Doesn't look like a fail to me, those look amazing! Good job in saving the meal and coming through for the win.

The Q definitely a little tricky with indirect cooking. But nice save. I would just cut off the bottom 1/4" Looks great. Now I'm hungry.

My precious wife feels if food cooked to the right doneness is good then cooked longer is better. Your sandwiches look awesome!

You rarely boo boo Case. We'll let it slide this time

Looks good. We did spicy chicken sandwiches for dinner also. Care to point me to a link on how to make the buns?

If that is a fail then I am in trouble....

Crispy, perhaps. But I really like the look of that sandwich. Nice save.

Been there done that, but a great save in the end. Looks fantastic.
Know the feeling about the heat, going on day twelve in a row with temps over 100.
