Description

A Bird Dog Sandwich is a delicious twist on a classic hot dog, replacing the sausage with a crispy chicken tender and topping it with cheese and honey mustard in a toasted bun.


Ingredients

  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 4 crispy chicken tenders (pre-cooked or homemade)
  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup honey mustard sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting buns)
  • Pickles or sliced jalapeños (optional, for topping)


Instructions

  1. Heat or cook the chicken tenders according to package instructions or recipe.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and toast the buns until golden brown.
  3. Place a slice of cheddar cheese in each bun and let it melt slightly from the heat.
  4. Add one chicken tender to each bun on top of the cheese.
  5. Drizzle with honey mustard sauce and add optional toppings like pickles or jalapeños.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use spicy chicken tenders for an added kick.
  • Try different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss for variety.
  • To make it healthier, use grilled chicken tenders and whole wheat buns.
