Ingredients

1 tsp smoked paprika ($0.10)

1/2 tsp garlic powder ($0.05)

1/4 tsp salt ($0.02)

1/4 tsp pepper ($0.02)

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs ($3.48)

1 Tbsp cooking oil ($0.04)

1/4 cup BBQ sauce ($0.11*)

7 oz. coleslaw mix ($1.09**)

2 green onions (sliced, $0.20)

1/4 cup ranch dressing ($0.37)

4 buns ($2.49)

Instructions

1 Combine the smoked paprika, garlic, powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Cut any large chicken thighs in half to make them more sandwich-sized (you'll want four pieces total). Season both sides of the chicken thighs with the prepared spice mix.

2 Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, swirl to coat the surface of the skillet. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken thighs are well browned and cooked through.

3 Remove the chicken from the heat and brush BBQ sauce over both sides of each piece.

4 Add the coleslaw mix, sliced green onions, and ranch dressing to a bowl. Stir until everything is combined and evenly coated in dressing.

5 To build the sandwiches, place one piece of BBQ chicken on each bun and top with a heaping scoop of the ranch slaw. Serve immediately.
