The chefs at Elior North America develop seasonal plates for the locations they serve. This latest recipe, a zesty take on a chicken sandwich, is the fall menu feature. Boneless chicken thighs are infused with a garlicky marinade then grilled and layered with sriracha mayo and pickled vegetables on a toasted bun.

Steps
1. For adobo chicken marinade, in blender, combine all ingredients except chicken thighs; pulse until smooth. Place chicken in shallow pan and pour marinade over thighs. Marinate in refrigerator 2 hours or overnight.

3. Remove chicken from marinade and discard unused marinade. Grill chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 F.
4. For Sriracha mayonnaise, whisk together ingredients. Set aside until ready to use.
