Preparation & Cooking Steps
  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1-inch for even cooking.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, kosher salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, buffalo sauce, and honey. Marinate chicken for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high, lightly oil the grates, and grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through.
  4. Add cheese slices on top of chicken during the last few minutes of grilling to melt.
  5. Toast brioche buns on the grill until golden, then assemble sandwiches with grilled chicken, grinder slaw, and tomato.
