Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Boo and Henry's Smokin Mild Sauce and Macaroni Salad

BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches are a great alternative to pulled pork or shredded beef. They make a great meal for any occasion or gathering. Depending on the bun used, they can be prepared for smaller appetizers or a truly satisfying meal.

What makes BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches different from other grilled chicken sandwiches is that they are cooked in their barbeque seasonings and sauce, then shredded or pulled apart, and usually served with more rich, flavorful sauce. The end result: A moist, wholly seasoned, lip-smacking sandwich you and your guests will savor.
