(Pulled Chicken Burger with Barbecue Sauce, Barbeque Chicken Sandwich)
Kids of this generation have an attraction towards sandwich varieties. In a way it is one good option for breakfast or for lucn boxes. Sandwiches are so filling yet simple to put together. I have shared quite a few sandwiches with various stuffings. In my family, we enjoy making sandiwiches with meat stuffing during weekends. Kids love the change from the usual South Indian menu.
This pulled chicken sandwich is one that I make often. I had already shared how I make shredded chicken and chicken stock at home and freeze them. Whenever needed I can quickly mix with some spices of choice and make a quick sandwich. I make it with Indian spices, Chinese sauces etc. One such pulled chicken sandwich that I make is the BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich.
This sandwich is quite easy to put together if you have Barbecue Sauce on hand. Most of the times I also make Barbecue Sauce at home. Shredded chicken mixed with barbecue sauce and topped over toasted buns make this delicious sandwich. It is satisfying and filling. I have shared the recipe for making the pulled chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce from scratch below. Do try it.
