A busy weekend and no meal planned...that is how this recipe was created. We had chicken and BBQ sauce on hand, so we tossed it in the oven and awaited the results. After a few hours, the chicken shredded easily and it was prefect for quick sandwiches. You can make this recipe in a slow cooker too!
