  • 2 ears corn on the cob
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1/2-1 cup mayo (Vegenaise or Just Mayo brands are not egg-based, so less perishable on hot days outdoors)
  • Sturdy rolls
  • Salt and pepper

Tools

  • Campfire or grill

  • Knife
  • Large bowl
  • Long tongs

Method

Note- You can easily make these ahead of time at home

  1. Slather shucked corn with butter or oil, salt, and pepper, and wrap it in foil. Grill corn until tender, and maybe a little brown in some sections.
  2. Meanwhile, grill chicken until tender, juicy, and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper while cooking.
  3. Set both items aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, chop corn kernels off the cob, and cut chicken into strips.
  4. In a big bowl, combine chopped fresh bell pepper, celery, corn, chicken, and onion with 1/2 cup of mayo to start. Stir to fully coat. Add more mayo if you prefer.
  5. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Dig a small well out if each roll and fill with a heaping scoop of chicken salad. Top with any other sandwich fixins you like.
