Randomly came across a Meat Church video in my YouTube suggested feed for the Mexican Chicken Sandwich and decided to make it last night. I kept it pretty close to the video, although I did make one with Pepper Jack Cheese. I liked the PJ cheese probably the best, and I also dressed mine with some pickled jalapenos.

Pretty easy recipe. Made it for 12 people and everyone was a fan.

It's going in my regular rotation now.

People have been raving about this in the "Meat Church Congregation" Facebook page. I need to give it a try.

It was. I’m kinda sad I didn’t make more, for later.

Baste with a mixture of butter and hot sauce while grilling. I think that’s a key step.

Made them last weekend. They were quite good, but maybe a tad salty. I think that meat church fajita rub is on the salty side. I also used pepper jack cheese

I might try this tomorrow. There's not much I love more than a grilled chicken thigh sandwich.

I made these and posted a pic on the wfdt a few weeks back. They were good but really salty in my opinion if you follow the recipe directly. I wouldn't marinate any longer than about four hours and if you're going to use the fajita rub, don't go heavy on it. I'd back off on the Cholula too.

Hmmm...ours were not salty, but I didn't use the "Meat Church Fajita Mix." The only mix I could find was Lane's Fiesta rub. I did find the exact can of jalepenos that was in the video though.

I might go heavier on the Cholula and lighter on the butter for basting next time.

Thighs on the grill are so underrated. Easy, quick, and good.

I noticed in the video that the guy grilled the peppers that he used in the marinade. Any food safety issues there? Didn’t know if simply charring them on the grill would be enough food temp wise.

I didn't grill the peppers from the marinade. Straight into the trash. 12 thighs used up all my grate space on the BGE.

Agree. I love to grill thighs on the BGE. Never had too much luck on the gas grill, due to the near constant grease fire that accompanies thighs. The egg helps to smother the fire.

I generally just do thighs with Kosher salt with a good crispy skin. I dig deboning after grilling, throwing the entire thigh on a bun with a hefty dose of Midland Ghost White BBQ Pepper sauce. I could eat one a day, forever.

Looked to me that he used different jalapenos. Not the ones in marinade

Looks good. Kinda hard to frick up a grilled thigh.

I'm more intrigued by that hybrid yakitori. Kinda want.
