Mother’s Day Special! The VIRAL Chicken Caesar Chicken Sandwich…..On The Grill

Treat Mom to Something Special This Mother’s Day – Caesar Chicken Sandwich, FOGO Style

Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to fire up the Big Green Egg and show Mom just how much she means to you—with a little grilled magic from Captain Ron and FOGO Charcoal.

This year, I decided to take that viral Caesar chicken sandwich that’s been making the rounds online and kick it up a notch the only way we know how: by grilling it over FOGO Super Premium Lump Charcoal on the Big Green Egg. No stovetop, no shortcuts, and definitely no pre-made dressings here—just bold flavor, fresh ingredients, and that unmistakable kiss of real wood-fired smoke.

The sandwich is everything you want for a backyard Mother’s Day celebration: crispy, juicy grilled chicken thighs, a tangy Caesar-style dressing that’s a copycat of Texas Roadhouse Grill’s famous version, and a toasted bun that brings it all together. It’s lighter than your usual BBQ fare, but still packed with enough flavor to make Mom ask for seconds.

And let’s be honest—there’s no better way to celebrate the moms in our lives than by treating them to a meal made with love, a little smoke, and a whole lot of FOGO. This isn’t just lunch—it’s a way to say thank you. To say we appreciate you. To say, "Hey Mom, you taught me how to do things right... so now I BBQ the right way with FOGO."

I walk you through every step in the video, from grilling those chicken thighs to building the perfect sandwich—so if you’re looking to impress Mom (and maybe win some bonus points with the rest of the family), hit the link and watch the full cook now.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us here at FOGO Charcoal—especially from me, Captain Ron. Let’s make it one to remember.

Directions:

1. Mix all dressing ingredients together and whisk until fully combined.  Place dressing in the refrigerator.  Make the salad dressing a day ahead, or at least 2 hours before serving Mom this delicious meal. 
2. Fill your grill with FOGO Premium Charcoal and prepare it for direct grilling over medium high heat.  Arrange 4 FOGO fire starters around in the coals.  Use a grill torch to light the starters.  Allow the fire to build while prepping the chicken.
3. Trim the thighs of any excess fat.  Season with the Greek Fleek seasoning.  Not too much but a decent coating is all that s required.  Set aside in the refrigerator.
4. Lightly coat the head of Romaine with olive oil. 
5. Grill the chicken until it reaches at least 165°.  You can go to 185° if you choose.  In the last few minutes of grilling, place the lettuce on the grill.  Grill the Romaine until it develops a slight char.  Flip and grill on all sides.
6. Remove all food from the grill when done. Slice the romaine down the center and then cut it cross ways in 1” strips.  Add to a bowl, add your desired amount of dressing and combine until fully coated.
7. Place the buns, flat side down on the grate until it develops a golden brown.  Remove them from the grill. 
8. Assemble the sandwich.  Place a thigh on the bun, top it with the dressing.  Hand it to Mom and watch her glow as she bites into this terrific treat you just
