Shredded Chicken Sandwiches
Somehow you have some PoulTree chicken leftover from the other night? Let's turn yesterday's dinner into today's MVP with these quick and irresistible BBQ shredded chicken sandwiches! Perfect for busy weeknights, impromptu gatherings, or when the game's about to start and hungry fans are filing in.
Here's the pro tip for perfectly shredded chicken: while it's still slightly warm (or even cold from the fridge), use two forks to pull the meat apart. Place one fork to hold the chicken steady, then use the other to scrape and pull the meat into tender, bite-sized shreds. The meat should naturally separate along its grain, giving you those perfect, juicy strands that'll soak up sauce like a dream. If you cooked the chicken with the Poultree the meat should be pretty easy to shred.
This recipe is your ticket to dinner victory in under 10 minutes flat! The beauty lies in its simplicity – tender shreds of your already-seasoned roasted chicken getting cozy with your favorite BBQ sauce. Layer it on a soft bun, add the cool crunch of coleslaw and the tangy zip of pickles, and you've got a sandwich that tastes like it came from your favorite BBQ joint.
Make it a crowd-pleaser by setting up a quick sandwich bar: warm shredded chicken in the middle, surrounded by different BBQ sauces (spicy, sweet, or smoky), crunchy coleslaw, pickles, and maybe even some sliced onions or jalapeños. Let everyone build their perfect stack – it's like hosting a BBQ joint without firing up the grill!
Ready to transform those leftovers into the easiest win of the week? Let's get shredding...
