Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

Vacation with my extended family is one of my favorite Summer happenings.  A few weeks ago there were 18 of us in one house.  When we’re together we take turns making dinner for the gang.  One of the meals I planned to make was BBQ chicken pizza, so I had cooked, shredded, seasoned, and froze 5lbs of chicken, before I left on vacation.  Well, I didn’t get a chance to make the pizza I had planned so I came home with that same 5lbs of chicken.  With all the big eaters in my home I knew I wouldn’t have any problems getting it eaten, I just wasn’t sure what I was going to use it for.

I LOVE when my mom makes BBQ pork sandwiches and so I figured this chicken would be a great that way too.  I was right!

I cooked the chicken in my crockpot.  Then I shredded the chicken like I do with my mixer.  If you haven’t tried this before, it is a must.  You can see how to do it here.

Then I used my mom’s recipe for the BBQ sauce.  Her recipe is very good but I usually do have to add a little extra store bought sauce to get the bold flavor that I like.

I served the BBQ chicken on garlic toast which added an extra yumminess to the sandwich.

This made a delicious dinner and is one of those meals you can make up way ahead of time and have on hand for a picnic, unexpected guests, or just a quick supper.
