Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Make the Marinade by combining mayonnaise, minced garlic, adobo sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, cumin, honey, and salt in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  2. Marinate the Chicken by coating chicken thighs evenly with the marinade and letting it sit for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Prepare Grill or Skillet by preheating it to medium-high heat and lightly brushing with olive oil.
  4. Grill the Chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 175°F.
  5. Toast the Buns by cutting them in half and placing them on the grill or skillet for 2-3 minutes until golden.
  6. Assemble Sandwiches by spreading chipotle mayonnaise on bun halves, layering with lettuce, tomatoes, grilled chicken, and cheese.
