Sweet & Spicy Barbecue Chicken Sandwich | Sweet Heat with Rick Martinez

Rick’s back with a chicken sandwich that’s perfect for summertime grilling. Sriracha and sambal bring the heat, while piloncillo adds the sweet, with miso and fish sauce bringing a ton of umami to the party. It also features crunchy quick pickles to balance out the savory chicken, all on top of a toasted sesame seed bun.
