Southern Shredded BBQ Chicken image

My family loves traditional pork barbecue served over mashed potatoes. I swapped the pork for chicken in honor of the delicious chicken barbecue my childhood church used to serve at its annual fundraiser. I also love cornbread and think that this yummy chicken is even better when served with a slice.-Angela Spengler, Clovis, New Mexico

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is so tender and flavorful, and the sauce is just the right amount of tangy and sweet. I highly recommend this recipe.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chicken breasts on the weekend and then used them to make this dish on Monday night. It was a quick and easy meal that was also really tasty.

This recipe is easy to follow and the results are delicious. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was flavorful and tangy. I served it with coleslaw and cornbread, and it was a perfect summer meal.

I'm not a big fan of BBQ sauce, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The sauce was not too sweet or tangy, and it had a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
