These great America inspired chicken sandwiches are packed full of flavour. Use your favourite hot honey for a sweet spicy kick. You can confit the garlic up to two weeks ahead and keep chilled. Bring to room temperature before using to make the mayo. You will make more confit garlic then you use, but you can use it most places you would use normal garlic.
