Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, horseradish, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold.
In a small bowl, mix together the ancho chili powder, chili powder, sweet and smoked paprika, salt, cayenne, cumin and black pepper.
Rub throughly over the chicken breast.
Prepare your smoker - or if you don't have one your grill.
Smoke for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Let the chicken sit for 15 minutes and then with two forks, pull into small pieces.
To plate: Place the pulled chicken on top of a toasted bun and generously top with the chilled BBQ sauce. If using, top with slaw and pickles.
