Basically summer’s best in a sandwich, guys. A freaking blackened chicken sandwich with roughly a Mt. Everest sized mountain of mango avocado salsa. ??

No big deal. Just the only sandwich in the world I’m eating currently.

I’m not always in a burger mood, guys. That’s how these blackened chicken sandwiches were born and it is the best switch-up so far this summer.

FYI, I AM always in the mood for avocado. And mango. You know, cause I’m a human.

Behold my one summer chicken love which is blackened spice rub on all.the.things. It’s smoky, slightly spicy, and BIG on flavors. I don’t go light on rubbing it literally ALL over this chicken. The more flavor the merrier.

Complementing all this smoky perfection is just another form of perfection called mango + avocado salsa <<< a combo which I’m convinced is up there in the top three for me, no lie.

Now imagine all of the above jammed into a big ‘ol bun with a cold one nearby. Uh-huh, this is the makings of a pretty sweet Fourth of July.

Or pre-gaming Fourth of July. Can we make that a thing with these blackened chicken sandwiches?

Probably post-gaming too. For the rest of the summer.
