Whenever I have leftover rotisserie chicken, I like to make these BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches. So easy to make and taste the delicious! Especially with the Ranch Slaw topping.
For the BBQ Sauce, you can make your own or use the store-bought variety. The flavor is also up to you. Pick your favorite and have at it. Oh and the ½ cup quantity is simply a suggestion. Use more or less BBQ Sauce to get the desired consistency.
Personally, I like to use a Brioche Bun when making these sandwiches but you can use whatever you have on hand. Hamburger Buns, Pretzel Buns or just plain toasted bread. Just keep in mind that this sandwich will be wet so make sure you select your bread carefully.
The Ranch Slaw I include with this recipe is totally optional as well. I just really like this slaw, especially on my Turkey Burgers. For variation, you could top with a slice of cheese or maybe some Bread & Butter Pickles or even some Pickled Jalapeños.

This pulled chicken sandwich is very tasty. My family is not a fan of ranch dressing, but mixed with the yogurt it made a difference and everyone loved it. A 10 in my book.
