Perfect for parties, these BBQ chicken sandwiches are made with an easy, homemade BBQ sauce that's full of flavor. Use any leftovers as a topping for pizza.

Ingredients
  • 2 (4 pound) whole chickens, cut up
  • 1 ½ cups ketchup
  • ¾ cup prepared mustard
  • 5 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 5 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 5 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup steak sauce
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 hamburger buns
  • 3 cups prepared coleslaw (Optional)
Step By Step Method
  1. Place chicken into a large pot with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cook until chicken comes off the bone easily, about 3 hours.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, combine ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, garlic, honey, steak sauce, lemon juice, and liquid smoke in a saucepan. Stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for flavors to mingle until chicken is ready.
  3. Transfer cooked chicken to a cutting board. Remove meat and discard skin and bones. Chop or shred meat into small pieces.
  4. Add chicken to sauce and stir to combine. Heat over medium-low until BBQ flavor soaks into chicken, about 15 minutes.
  5. Spoon chicken onto buns and top with coleslaw.
