pulled bbq chicken sandwich


i love bbq.
the sticky, smoky and sweet sauce that sticks to everything.
bbq sauce is probably my favorite condiment.
it makes so many foods exceptionally tastier.
tofu, sweet potatoes, green beans, turkey sandwiches, pretzels, potato chips, brussel sprouts, steak, salad, burgers, etc.
just to name a few.
and of course chicken.


sweet baby ray's is my bbq sauce of choice, and as you can see i have two varieties.
this pulled chicken sammy had a little bit of both, i like my bbq sweet n' spicy with a honey kick.
i make my own rules people.


you will need a few other ingredients to make this sammy just right.
after all if i just poured bbq sauce over chicken, that wouldn't be much of a recipe.


onion and garlic of course


and the secret to a north carolina bbq taste, why apple cider vinegar.


i definitely sampled the chicken right out of the pan.
and then finished off the leftovers a few hours minutes later.
but really, it's best to put this lovely bbq pulled chicken on a large roll that can soak up the sauce with abandon.


i really wish i had another one of these right now.

  2. Jesse- Sweet Baby Ray's is my favorite, too. I just pour it on. Never so sophisticated as to make it into a recipe!

  4. Anything that has onions and garlic as the "add-ons" is yummy to me. Anything with five ingredients that looks this good is a winner!

    (I didn't count the water and s&p + I always have rolls/bread :)
