Notes

๐Ÿ’ก For extra tender chicken, marinate the breasts in buttermilk for 30 minutes before seasoning to add moisture and a subtle tang.
๐Ÿ”ช Do not skip resting the chicken for 5 minutes after grilling โ€” this redistributes the juices so every bite stays tender.
๐Ÿฅก Store components separately (chicken, ham, bun, spread) in the fridge to maintain the best texture when enjoying leftovers.
