I hate that shit. And salad-style sandwiches (like chicken or tuna) are way better with an oil & lemon based dressing…

I use a plant based mayo, but use it sparingly.

generally a mayo based sauce with hot sauce, mustard, relish, or other ingredients like pickles. Or a barbecue sauce or hot honey. I also like to put spices on the chicken like cajun seasoning or BBQ seasoning.

There are so many different recipes out there. I've tried good options that have an Ethiopian or Indian twist to it.
