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. —Roberta Brown, Waupaca, Wisconsin

The recipe was easy to follow. I thought the ratio to liquid was fine. I felt as if it lacked the flavor I was expecting. While eating I realized I'd made it before and felt the same way. It's at least equal to the barbecued chicken you can purchase in the warehouse stores.

If I could give this negative stars I would. what a waste of a chicken... followed recipe exactly as written against my better judgement. All that was tasted was the vinegar, it was bitter and sour and gross. i tried to get my husband to try it a second time the next night after trying to fix it and it was still inedible. don't waste your chicken!

A little too much water, needed a little more hot sauce.

This recipe is a hit at potlucks. Is very good made with grocery store rorisserie chicken and is a great slow-cooker Friday or Saturday night meal. I serve with a salad or with cole-slaw and corn on the cob

Sauce is way to watery, IF I was going to make this again, I would cut the water in half, if not more. Sauce flavor is ok, nothing great.

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.
