Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked and shredded chicken (1 rotisserie chicken is the ideal size)
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup coleslaw
  • 12 slices bread and butter pickles
  • 4 Brioche hamburger buns

Instructions

  • Add shredded chicken to a large bowl and toss to combine with BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
  • Lightly toast buns.
  • Assemble sandwich by placing pulled chicken on the bottom bun, topped with coleslaw and pickles. Add the upper bun to the top and serve.

Notes

You can use 4 cups of whatever chicken you have on hand. Leftovers, grilled chicken, or chicken from your slow cooker will all work great.
 
If your chicken is uncooked, the easiest way to make these pulled chicken sandwiches is by gently cooking your chicken in the slow cooker on low for four to five hours or until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. This will yield the most tender bbq chicken and can be done with a variety of cuts.
