This barbecue chicken sandwich is one of my favorite recipes for when I’m lazy. I almost always have leftover simple shredded chicken in the freezer (I highly recommend you do too…Simple Shredded Chicken). This shredded chicken can be made into any number of things, but pair it with your fave BBQ sauce and an easy barbecue sandwich is made. With this recipe I suggest topping hamburger buns, but the barbecue chicken also makes an excellent pizza. Optional toppings are endless (think coleslaw, pineapples, pickles…) so have fun and be creative with this tried and true shredded barbecue chicken sandwich recipe.
