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.

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.
