Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

Sharing is caring!

This recipe for Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches is sponsored in conjunction with #BBQWeek.  The sponsors, Rainier Foods and Intensity Academy generously provided samples to participants to aid in the creation of the #BBQWeek recipes and prize packages to give away to the readers.  However, all opinions are mine alone.

Anytime I make food, I always try to do my best at making enough meat that I can turn into a second meal at some point. That is how this recipe for Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches came about.

Last week when I made BBQ Chicken Leg Quarters on the grill, there were a couple of the leg quarters left. Instead of just putting them in the refrigerator for leftovers the next day, I decided to shred the meat into a bowl. However, if you do not have any leftover chicken, you can get a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store to use.

The next night for dinner, I served these amazing sandwiches and then topped them with Honey Hype Seasoning from Intensity Academy. As a result, I found my new favorite seasoning that I am using in everything and it is glorious!

Putting Together BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich

What makes this a pulled sandwich, is the fact that you shred the chicken for the sandwich. Top it with some bbq sauce and whatever seasoning you prefer.

Finally, top the sandwiches with homemade cole slaw, but that is entirely optional, for instance.

Since making this sandwich, we have used that Honey Hype seasoning on everything. It is SO good. I have even sprinkled it on my salad for an extra bit of seasoning.
