At least once a month I pick up a ready-made rotisserie chicken when I go grocery shopping. This comes in handy when I don’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen. This week I will be sharing my easy pulled BBQ chicken sandwich recipe using rotisserie chicken.

The first thing I do make is make the BBQ sauce. Ingredients include ketchup, mustard, sugar, vinegar, and a few other ingredients which you might have in your pantry or refrigerator. There is one other secret ingredient I use to give an extra punch of flavor: liquid smoke. This adds a slight smoky flavor to the sauce. You can find this in most big grocery stores or online.

You will be very happy how fast you can get dinner on the table. The clean up is also very minimal.

You can serve this as a sandwich or as a topping for a baked potato bar. Serve with a green salad and you’ve got yourself a complete weeknight dinner in less than half an hour.

I hope you include this delicious BBQ pulled chicken sandwich on your menu!
