These sandwiches are a HUGE hit in my house! They are so, so, so, so, gooooooood! You’ll definitely be going back for seconds or thirds. If you liked our Mega Murphwich then you’ll 100% love this one too! They’re sweet, tangy, a little spicy and cheesy all in one delicious bite! On top of that they’re simply to make and won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
This meal is perfect for those hectic nights when you just don’t know what to cook. You can whip these up and throw your favorite french fries in the oven and be done in 20 mins. Everyone will love them, I promise!
What Type of Roll Should I Use?
You can use any roll you like, but the softer and squishier the better in my opinion. I like to serve the Mega Murphwich on potato rolls like these here from pepperidge farms. They are my absolute favorite. Big enough to make a mega sandwich but still soft and squishy and a little bit sweet. Try them out, you won’t be disappointed.
What Are All of Those Ingredients I’ve Never Heard Of?
You’ll see a couple of not so common ingredients included in this recipe. Specifically rice vinegar, mirin wine, and coconut palm sugar. These are ingredients that I always have in the cabinet. They are great for cooking and adding flavor to all kinds of dishes. Here are some pictures of the brands I use.

OK Let’s get Cooking!
A Few Helpful Hints!
- Take your chicken out of the refrigerator 20 mins before you’re going to start cooking. You want it to get almost to room temperature.
- Watch out with the siracha sauce. I always use the original Huy Fong brand and have found the spicy level can vary sometimes from bottle to bottle so I would err on the side of less siracha in the marinade and then add a bit more at the end if you want it hotter.
- This recipe goes pretty quick so if you’re going to make some french fries start preheating your oven a bit before you start cooking and throw the fries in once you’ve finished making the sauce.
✅ Quick Tips: Read the recipe in its entirety before you start cooking. This will help you understand the ingredients, steps, and timing involved, and allow you to prepare any necessary equipment or ingredients beforehand.

Cooking Instructions
-
Cook the Chicken
Add 2 TBS of high smoke point oil to your preheated pan (I use avocado oil). Cook the chicken in batches, until just done through, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. When your last batch is done don't remove it from the pan. Instead, add all of the chicken back into the pan to reheat and continue cooking until it's all browned nicely but not overdone.
Add about 4 TBS of the sauce and combine with the chicken. Stir frequently and allow the sauce to thicken and caramelize on the chicken.
Reduce heat to medium/low and the rest of the sauce to the pan. Continue cooking, stirring frequently until all of the sauce is hot and starts to thicken a little. Turn the burner OFF then immediately add the shredded cheese, using a spatula to fold it into the mixture until fully combined.
Serving Recommendations

Serving
Pile up a nice big heap of the mixture on your favorite hamburger bun. Toss some fries or tots on the plate and enjoy!
