Categories     chicken     Dinner     Main     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs seasoned bone-in chicken breast (cooked and shredded (see note))
1/2 cup ketchup
3 Tablespoons yellow mustard
3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons honey
4 Tablespoons butter (melted)
1 Tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon smoked salt
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
liquid smoke (several dashes)
Buttered and toasted potato buns
Coleslaw (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine all of the sauce ingredients.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. (Don't be alarmed at the bold flavor, it won't taste as strong once it's combined with the chicken)
  • Heat the sauce on medium and let it barely simmer for about 5-10 minutes (optional)
  • Mix sauce into shredded chicken a little at a time until your desired consistency is reached (I never use all the sauce since I just like my chicken to be lightly coated.
  • Top the prepared potato buns with the BBQ chicken and then top with cole slaw (optional but recommended)
  • Serve hot.
