Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your grill is at the right heat (400°F/200°C) for perfect chicken with beautiful grill marks.
- Rest Your Meat: Always let the chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy and tender.
- Toast Those Rolls: Lightly toasting the sandwich rolls adds a delightful crunch and prevents sogginess.
- Don't Skimp on Cilantro: Fresh cilantro leaves bring an authentic Thai flavor burst.
- Slice Evenly: Thin, uniform chicken and cucumber slices ensure every bite is balanced.
- Serve Immediately: This sandwich is best enjoyed warm, right after assembly.
