This spicy rotisserie chicken sandwich layers vinegar-tossed lettuce, pepperoncinis, and red onion over chicken and pepper jack, with spicy mayo and chimichurri on ciabatta.
This rotisserie chicken sandwich can be made year round, but given it's a no cook recipe I typically make it much more during those warmer months!
This was inspired by my veggie sandwich on this site, that spicy mayo and chimichurri combo is just elite.
