Chicken Sloppy Joes

Rich flavour in a messy sandwich.

Ingredients

• 4 cloves garlic

• ½ large yellow onion

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 1 teaspoons pepper

• 1 pinch cayene pepper

• 2 pounds (1 kg) boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• ¾ cup ketchup

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tablespoon thinly slices green onions

• ½ cup diced jalapeño pepper

• Hot sauce to taste

• 1 cup water

• Hamburger buns

Mise en place

1. Mince the garlic cloves

2. Dice the onion

3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel..

Directions

1. Oil the saucepan, add garlic, yellow onion, brown sugar, kosher salt & pepper, cayenne, chicken thighs, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a dash of hot sauce.

Add these ingredients in that exact order.

2. Heat those ingredients over high heat until you hear the garlic sizzling. Let garlic sizzle for about 30 seconds before adding the water.

3. Stir everything together and wait until the mixture starts boiling.

4. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally until the chicken falls apart, about 1 1/2 hours.

5. Add the green onions and peppers and cook until the peppers turn tender, about 3 to 5 minutes more.

6. Taste for seasoning.

7. Remove from heat and serve on hamburger buns.

I highly recommend toasting the buns first before serving. It helps with the structure of the sandwich.
