  1. Toss or brush the hot chicken generously with hot honey.
  1. Place chicken on the toasted croissant bottom.
  1. Spread a thick layer of pimento cheese over the chicken so it gets slightly melty.

Notes

  • Use store-bought fried chicken cutlets for convenience or make your own for a homemade touch.
  • Toast the croissants in a skillet with mayo for a buttery, golden finish.
