Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken tenders on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  3. Lightly toast the hoagie rolls in an oven preheated to 350°F for about 2–3 minutes or on a skillet until crispy and golden brown.
  4. Spread a layer of creamy honey mustard sauce on each toasted roll. Add a cooked chicken tender, drizzle with South Carolina mustard BBQ sauce, and layer with toppings like lettuce, red onion, and pickles. Add hot sauce if desired.
  5. Cap each sandwich with the top half of the toasted roll and serve warm. Best enjoyed fresh to maintain texture.
