BBQ Fried Chicken Sandwich

If you’ve been following Mmhmm on the EAF channel you would know that I take the art of sandwich making very seriously. This Katsu Style BBQ Fried Chicken Sandwich is no exception. We’re doing the most to achieve an awesome sandwich and its all made possible through a collaboration with Swiss products. For this sandwich i’m using the Swiss Original Barbecue Sauce to create our BBQ Fried Chicken and adding a creamy coleslaw using Swiss Mayonnaise and Swiss Mustard.
