For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the chicken pieces briefly before simmering them in the water. This will add a smoky char that complements the BBQ sauce beautifully. The homemade BBQ sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it convenient for busy weeknights. Experiment with different types of coleslaw! A creamy coleslaw, a vinegar-based slaw, or even a spicy slaw can all add a unique twist to these sandwiches.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large pot, submerge the chicken pieces in water, ensuring they are fully covered. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently until the chicken is incredibly tender and easily pulls away from the bone. (Approximately 3 hours)
02 Step
Recipe View While the chicken simmers, craft the BBQ sauce. In a saucepan, whisk together the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, minced garlic, honey, steak sauce, lemon juice, and liquid smoke. Season generously with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the sauce to meld and deepen in flavor. (Approximately 10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Once the chicken is cooked, carefully transfer it to a cutting board. Remove the meat from the bones, discarding the skin and bones. Shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
04 Step
Recipe View In the same saucepan used for the sauce, combine the shredded chicken and the BBQ sauce. Stir well to ensure every piece of chicken is coated in the flavorful sauce. Heat over medium-low heat, allowing the chicken to absorb the essence of the BBQ sauce. (Approximately 15 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View To assemble the sandwiches, generously spoon the BBQ chicken onto the hamburger buns. Top with a generous helping of prepared coleslaw for a cool and crunchy contrast.
