Super Simple Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches

By Addie

This comes from an old issue of Real Simple magazine. Shredding rotisserie chickens can be messy, but I think it is well worth the effort! The rotisserie chicken really adds a lot of flavor to this sandwich. But the real flavor will depend on what BBQ sauce you choose. Get creative!

Ingredients

• 3 1/2-4 lbs rotisserie-cooked chicken, meat shredded (about 5 cups)
• 1-1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce (use your fave)
• 1/4 cup pickled jalapeno pepper, roughly chopped (optional)
• 4 hamburger buns (I like to use onion)

Preparation

Step 1

1 In a bowl, combine the chicken, BBQ sauce and jalapeños (if using).

2 Slightly heat mixture in microwave if you'd like.

3 Divide the mixture evenly among buns.

4 Great with coleslaw, potato salad or kettle chips! EAT!

I had purchased a rotisserie chicken a few days ago and eaten the dark meat but still had the breast meat to use. I shredded up part of it and made about two sandwiches worth of this recipe. I used homemade BBQ sauce I already had on hand and toasted wheat bread in place of the buns (also what I had on hand). Really nice way to use up some leftover chicken. Thanks for sharing!

These were very easy and tasted great!! How can you really go wrong starting with a rotisserie chicken? My DH adored this. I did not use the jalapeno (personal preference.) Very easy.
