This might be the sandwich of all sandwiches.
If you’re looking for a sandwich loaded with spicy flavour, coated in a crispy crust, and smothered with a zesty sauce, then this is it.
Our main man, @counting_zacros, has served up an absolute beast of a sandwich for your next Friday night dinner. It’s packed with protein, with over 45g per serving to be precise, making it perfect for helping you to hit your macro targets in the most delicious way.
Make it as fiery or mild as you like by adjusting how much hot sauce and chilli powder you add. And of course, go to town on the toppings. In our view, you can’t go wrong with a few sliced pickles. Simple but effective every time.
