Main Course

Crispy, juicy, and packed with craveable flavor, this Yum Yum Chicken Sandwich is comfort food done right. Golden-fried chicken gets a bold boost from Spiceology’s Yum Yum Blend, then is stacked on a soft bun with fresh veggies and a creamy, tangy Yum Yum sauce. Our Yum Yum Blend is a Costco exclusive, so make sure you grab it there before firing up this recipe. You can find Costco stores where Yum Yum is available here.

      Sandwich Secrets Worth Knowing

      It’s all about the flavor combo. Juicy grilled chicken meets bold Yum Yum seasoning and creamy sauce for a sweet, savory, slightly spicy bite that hits every craving at once.

      Absolutely. If you like turning up the heat, add extra Yum Yum seasoning, a drizzle of hot sauce, or some sliced jalapeños. Spiceology believes flavor should always be customizable.

      Fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles, and extra Yum Yum sauce are always winners. Want to level it up? Try avocado, crispy bacon, or melty cheese for a next-level sandwich situation.
