I’m a lover of good barbecue and while I will order it any chance I get I don’t make it at home too often. It’s time consuming and you usually have to make large batches. While my husband can eat the same thing for days, I get tired of it. I was very surprised and giddy at the thought of having pulled chicken in less time than it takes to go to a restaurant? That’s right folks, you can have this delicious sandwich prepared in about 30 minutes. Yup, you heard me, you can make these on a weeknight or better yet you can make them ahead of time and have them ready whenever you are!
In the time it takes to heat the grill, you can mix together and apply the dry rub. While the chicken is cooking on the grill, make up the sauce. Shred the chicken and stir it in and voila, you’ve got yourself an awesome dinner. My husband downed one of these sandwiches before I could even finish snapping pictures of mine. It’s great when you can make something that they love, tastes like it was a laborious meal, and yet it took you mere minutes. So, what are you waiting for?
