Place chicken breasts on grill and cook, turning once, until done, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and cover with foil. Finish sandwiches by lightly toasting each side of rolls. Spread spicy 2 tablespoons chile mayonnaise on bottom half of rolls; top each with chicken breast half. Add two slices of bacon to each sandwich; divide arugula among sandwiches.

Adapted from Hot Sour Salty Sweet by Jeffrey Alford & Naomi Duguid, Artisan Books
Serves 4
4 large split chicken breasts, bone-in and skin on (about 3 pounds)
3 TBLS Thai fish sauce
4 TBLS peppercorn-coriander flavor paste (recipe follows)
hot and sweet dipping sauce (recipe follows)
Place peppercorn-coriander paste in large bowl; stir in fish sauce and blend well. Add chicken to marinade and turn to coat. Let stand, covered, at room temperature for about 1 hour or in the refrigerator for as long as 3 hours.
Prepare gas or charcoal grill. Place chicken on grill 4 – 5 inches from flame, bone-side down, and grill until bottom is starting to brown, about 6 – 8 minutes. Turn chicken pieces and continue cooking until golden brown on other sides and juices run clear when meat is pierced with fork, about another 6 – 8 minutes.
Transfer chicken to platter and top each piece with up to one-quarter of the hot and sweet dipping sauce.
Peppercorn-Coriander Flavor Paste:
In food processor, combine 4 tablespoons black peppercorns, 6 large garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon ground coriander and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Pulse about one minute, to consistency of paste. Add 1 teaspoon Thai fish sauce and combine well.
Hot and Sweet Dipping Sauce:
In small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat ½ cup rice vinegar. Stir in ½ cup sugar; continue stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer 5 minutes. With the back of a spoon, mash 1 large garlic clove. Combine mashed garlic with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes. Remove vinegar mixture from heat; stir garlic mixture into vinegar sauce and blend well. Cool to room temperature.
