Barbecued Chicken Sandwiches Recipe

By pattie_d

These sandwiches are great for large gatherings. The chicken can be cooked ahead of time, then added to the homemade barbecue sauce for simmering hours before guests arrive

Ingredients

• 2 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 3-1/2 pounds each), cooked and shredded
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cups water
• 1-1/4 cups ketchup
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon each salt, celery seed and chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• Hamburger buns

Preparation

Step 1

In a 3-qt. slow cooker or Dutch oven, combine all ingredients except buns. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours in the slow cooker or simmer for 1-1/2 hours on the stovetop. Serve on buns. Yield: 8-10 servings.

Editor's Note: 6 cups diced cooked chicken may be used instead of the shredded chicken.
