Mix Seasoning in a flat bowl / dish.
Step 3
If required, pound chicken to about 1 cm / 2/5” thick. If wanting to be exact, trim to shape of rolls BUT ensure it is about 15% larger (it shrinks) (Note 2).
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over high heat (if doing on BBQ, drizzle flat plate).
Step 5
Add onion and cook, turning regularly, for 5 minutes until golden. Season with salt and pepper, toss, then remove.
Step 6
While cooking the onions, preheat oven to 160C/320F. Split rolls, then lightly toast / warm the rolls (if using BBQ, just toast the cut side until crispy). Leave in turned off oven with door ajar while you cook chicken.
Step 7
Heat 1 tbsp oil into the same skillet, still on high heat.
Step 8
Dredge chicken in Seasoning, shake off excess, then place in skillet. Repeat.
