A grilled chicken sandwich doesn't need to be boring. A salty and acidic marinade makes the chicken flavorful and extra tender. After grilling, it will be slightly charred and juicy with just the right amount of heat. The honey mustard-esque sauce is killer and really makes the sandwich. Grilling the red onions and buns is totally optional, but will take the chicken sandwich to the next level. Serve it with some homemade french fries and you have a restaurant worthy meal right at home.
