  4. Drizzle additional mustard sauce over the top if desired.

4. Serve and Enjoy

  2. Pair with classic Southern sides like baked beans, potato salad, or cornbread for a full meal.

Serving Suggestions

  • For Game Day: Serve as part of a tailgating spread with chips, dips, and cold drinks.
  • At Barbecues: Offer these sandwiches alongside ribs, grilled veggies, or mac and cheese.
  • With a Twist: Swap chicken for pulled pork or turkey for a different take on the classic Bird Dog.
  • Make It Spicy: Add jalapeños or serve with a side of spicy slaw for extra heat.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Double the Sauce: Make extra mustard sauce—it’s great for dipping fries, glazing meats, or adding to other sandwiches.
  • Use a Grill Pan: If grilling outdoors isn’t an option, use a stovetop grill pan to achieve those charred grill marks.
  • Go Low and Slow: For pulled chicken or turkey, cook the meat in a slow cooker with a splash of broth until tender, then shred and toss with the mustard sauce.
  • Add Coleslaw: Top the sandwich with a scoop of tangy coleslaw for a refreshing crunch and extra Southern flair.
