Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the chicken tenders generously with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or use a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken tenders for about 5–7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked through.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F or heat a skillet over low heat. Toast the hoagie rolls for about 2–3 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Spread a generous amount of the creamy honey mustard sauce on each roll. Place a cooked chicken tender on top and drizzle with South Carolina mustard BBQ sauce.
  5. Layer shredded lettuce or coleslaw, red onion, chopped pickles, and hot sauce if desired on each sandwich.
  6. Finish with the top half of the hoagie rolls. Serve immediately while warm.
