Instructions
1
|
Start by shredding leftover roast chicken. If there are any bones or skin, remove them. You’ll want the tender chicken meat for your sandwich.
2
|
Place the shredded chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Add your favorite BBQ sauce and stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated. Let it simmer for a 2-3 minutes to absorb flavors.
3
|
While your chicken is heating up, lightly toast your hamburger buns in the oven or on a stovetop griddle. This step adds a delightful crunch to your sandwich, but you can skip it if you prefer them un-toasted.

|
Once the buns are toasted, assemble your BBQ Chicken Sandwiches. Start with a generous portion of BBQ chicken on the bottom bun. If you like some crunch and freshness, add coleslaw on top. Finish it off with a few pickles for that tangy kick.

Plate your BBQ Chicken Sandwiches and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Shred While Warm for Texture 🔥Shred your BBQ chicken while it's still warm for easier, more uniform pieces that absorb the sauce better than cold chicken.
- Toast Your Buns for Structural Integrity 🍞Lightly butter and toast hamburger buns on a skillet before assembling to prevent sogginess from sauce and coleslaw moisture.
- Balance Acidity with Your BBQ Sauce 🎯Mix your BBQ sauce with a splash of apple cider vinegar to cut through richness and enhance flavor complexity in the finished sandwich.
- Drain Coleslaw Before Layering 🥬Pat your coleslaw dry with paper towels and let it sit in a colander for 10 minutes to remove excess liquid that would make the sandwich wet.
- Pickle Placement Prevents Sogginess 🥒Layer pickles directly against the bun as a moisture barrier between the bread and wet toppings to maintain sandwich integrity.
