Instructions
ASSEMBLING THE CHICKEN CLUB SANDWICH:
LAYER 1: Lightly toast the bread so that it's barely browned. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of mayo over each slice of bread and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.
LAYER 2: Arrange the sliced chicken evenly on the bottom layer of toasted and dressed white bread.
LAYER 3: Top with 2-3 slices of tomato (depending on how large they are).
LAYER 4: Add 2-3 slices of cheese.
LAYER 5: Place a second piece of toast, mayo-side-down on top of the cheese. Spread the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of mayo over the toast and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
LAYER 6: Top with deli sliced ham.
LAYER 7: Add the strips of bacon.
LAYER 8: Top with lettuce leaves.
LAYER 9: Finally, add the last piece of toasted bread, mayo side down.
Secure the sandwich with 4 long fringed skewers by stabbing them through the bread in the middle of each side (see photo).
Use a serrated knife to cut the sandwich into 4ths in an "x" pattern, from corner to corner. Transfer to a plate and serve with french fries (non-negotiable) and a pickle (optional).
