If you have any leftover chicken in the fridge, this is absolutely the sandwich you need to make with it. This BBQ chicken sandwich is perfect with baked, rotisserie, or really whatever chicken you have on hand.
The Deets:
This is what I make whenever I have some leftover chicken in the fridge – this is my bbq chicken sandwich with a crispy crunchy slaw. You’ve seen me make this slaw before, it’s got lots of crunch and some banana peppers to get it nice and pickly. For the chicken, use whatever you have on hand, baked or rotisserie work great. I used Momofuku sweet and savory BBQ sauce and melted a little mozzarella on the bread and that is this weeks lunch fixation. I hope you give it a try. Enjoy!
