- Sauté the red onion until soft before adding the shredded chicken to build the aromatic base of the filling. - Cook the chicken with the barbecue sauce for 5 minutes so the meat absorbs the smoky and bittersweet flavor. - Take the open baguettes to the preheated oven at 180 ºC just enough to melt the cheese and toast the crust.

Chef Tips

- Place the lettuce leaf only after the sandwich comes out of the oven so that it remains green and crispy. - Heat the chicken in the barbecue sauce before filling the bread to speed up the melting of the cheese in the baking sheet. - Brush the outer crust of the baguette with olive oil before putting it in the oven to form a crispy crust.

Variations

- Sandwich with bacon: add slices of crispy fried bacon over the cheddar cheese before gratinating. - Toque picante: add thin slices of pickled jalapeño pepper or chipotle pepper sauce to the barbecue. - Version with corn and cream cheese: mix 2 tablespoons of cream cheese and sweet corn into the shredded chicken for extra creaminess.

Substitutions

- Grated cheddar cheese: can be substituted with prato cheese, shredded mozzarella, smoked provolone, or estepe cheese. - Baguette bread: use traditional French bread, ciabatta bread, or Australian bread for a sweet contrast. - Ready-made barbecue sauce: use homemade barbecue sauce or tomato sauce seasoned with smoked paprika and brown sugar.

How to Store

Store the barbecue chicken filling in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble and heat the sandwich on the bread only at serving time to prevent the crust from softening.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze only the shredded chicken already mixed with the barbecue sauce for up to 90 days in jars or proper bags. Do not freeze the assembled sandwich, as the bread and vegetables lose their consistency upon thawing.

What to Serve With

Serve with rustic roasted potatoes with rosemary, breaded onion rings, sweet potato chips, or coleslaw salad. It pairs well with an IPA beer, cold passion fruit juice, or cola soda.
