Easy Barbecue Chicken Sandwich Recipe
Easy Barbecue Chicken Sandwich
We have taken whole chickens and cooked them in our slow cooker, or used rotisserie chicken leftovers to make this recipe. You can use any leftover chicken you have to make this delicious barbecue chicken sandwich. We have been known to cook a chicken, just to make this too. No shame.
You can even freeze into family servings and pull out and make barbecue chicken, for a quick and easy meal.
This is perfect to make ahead of time and warm up as it gets more flavor, the longer it sits in the barbecue sauce.
Two cups of shredded chicken will get you about 2 barbecue sandwiches. If you have additional chicken, you can make chicken soup.
What is the Best Way To Pick Chicken?
You will want to allow the chicken to cool before removing the chicken from your rotisserie chicken. Start with the legs, the wings and remove the meat from the chicken. The breast meat can removed whole or in pieces.
What is the Best Way to Shred Chicken?
Place the chicken in a large bowl. You can use 2 forks to shred the chicken. If you have a lot of chicken, you can use your hand mixer and shred it quickly. It may become your favorite way to shred chicken.
