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.

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.
