South Carolina Bird Dog Sandwiches

I saw this recipe online and was instantly intrigued. I had never heard of the term “bird dog”. After some research, I found out they are a “thing” in South Carolina. Nick Henry’s and J C’s Sandwich Shoppe are apparently famous for them. SO, what is a bird dog you ask? Chicken fingers, bacon, cheese, and honey mustard in a bun – or perfection in my book.

These South Carolina Bird Dog Sandwiches are SUPER simple to make. Take hotdog buns. Add a chicken finger, bacon, and cheddar cheese. Pop the sandwich under the oven broiler to melt the cheese. Finally top the sandwich with honey mustard and enjoy!

South Carolina Bird Dogs  - chicken fingers, bacon, cheese and honey mustard - perfect tailgating food! Easy to assemble in the parking lot! We also love to eat these for a quick lunch or dinner.

Chicken Finger Sandwiches for Tailgating

These sandwiches make a fantastic tailgating recipe. Simply buy some chicken fingers on the way to the tailgate and assemble them in the parking lot. The only special equipment you need is a kitchen blow torch. You can use the blow torch to melt the cheese and heat up the chicken and bun. You can also assemble the sandwiches and wrap them in foil and heat them up on the grill. These are my new favorite way to eat chicken fingers!
