1-Getting started with Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches is simple and fun. Begin by combining the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. This spice mix brings out the best flavors in the chicken. Next, cut any large chicken thighs in half and season both sides generously with the mix.

2-Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken thighs for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until they’re browned and fully cooked through. Once done, remove them from the heat and brush barbecue sauce on both sides for that sticky, tasty finish. While the chicken rests, mix the coleslaw mix, sliced green onions, and ranch dressing in a bowl until everything is well coated.

3-Now, assemble your sandwiches by placing one piece of the BBQ chicken on each bun and topping it with a generous scoop of the ranch slaw. This recipe serves 4 and takes about 25 minutes total, with 10 minutes for prep and 15 minutes for cooking, making it perfect for quick and tasty BBQ chicken sandwiches. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, warm flavors.
