These sandwiches are great for large gatherings. The chicken can be cooked ahead of time, then added to the homemade barbecue sauce for simmering hours before guests arrive.

I love this recipe and have been making it for years, ever since I found it in the cookbook. To speed things up I sometimes use the large cans of canned chunk chicken breast that is packed in water, Drain the water and measure out the 6 cups of chicken, then just cook it on the stove according to the directions. It is always a hit when I serve it.
