These pulled chicken sandwiches are incredibly easy to make… and oh-so-satisfying! Whip up a batch and watch them quickly disappear.

I’m infatuated with sandwiches. Like… seriously obsessed. I even professed my love for them on a podcast recently and I meant every word. Gimme, Gimme, Gimme. If you’re diggin’ chicken handhelds as much as I do, go ahead and give my Habanero Avocado Chicken, Pickle Juice Crispy Fried Chicken and Brunch-Style Banh Mi Sandwiches a try.

With Super Bowl right around the corner, we’re gabbing about some of our favorite football fareon the blog. Today I’m highlighting an insanely tasty protein. It can be served on sandwiches, sliders, lettuce wraps or tossed together with beer cheese for an awesome appetizer with homemade pretzel bites. Seriously, this pulled chickenis so versatile!

COOKING METHODS FOR PULLED CHICKEN:

There are two different ways to prepare this protein. Both are equally delicious, it really depends on how much time you have on your hands. If you’re a planner, you canthrow it into your crockpot and forget about it for 8 hours. If you’re on a tight schedule, go ahead and utilize your pressure cooker. This chicken is perfect for game day, weeknight dinner or weekend family gatherings.

OTHER WAYS TO USE PULLED CHICKEN:

Oh, I’ve got oodles of recipes on the blog. Here are some ideas for your fiesta football celebrations this weekend.

Rojas + Verdes Chicken Enchiladas – Oh my… so good.
Autumn Cobb Salad – Because sometimes you need some greens.
BBQ Chicken Skillet Pizza – Duh… an obvious duo.

NOTES ON THIS RECIPE:

Don’t be afraid to play around with your seasonings for the pulled chicken. Sometimes I add garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, onion powder, Italian seasonings or even cajun. It’s all according to your personal preferences. I’ve also mixed the pulled chicken with my favorite BBQ sauce prior to piling onto the rolls.
The Alabama White Sauce in this recipe has a bit of a kick. If you prefer a milder version, swap the black pepper tablespoon for a teaspoon instead. If you’re short on time, go ahead and use this Alabama White Sauce made by Duke’s Mayo!
Shredded coleslaw is another great topping that pairs well with this sandwich. You can grab the recipe for my spicy version on this blog post.
If you’re in the mood for something extra special, top this sandwich with my Parmesan Fried Pickles.

THANKS FOR SHARING OUR RECIPE ON INSTAGRAM AND FACEBOOK, DUKE’S! WE LOVE YOU, TOO.

Sweet recipe. Do you ever pre-cook the chicken the day before? Have a large group coming and will need maybe 10 chickens.
Do you reheat with broth or stock to moisten?
Chicken breast can get pretty dry occasionally.
Many thanks.

  I always cook my chicken the day of, as I agree… it can get pretty dry when reheating. If you choose to cook the day before, I definitely would reheat with some sort of liquid (broth or stock) to moisten. Hope your gathering went well!
