I thought this was going to be one of those recipes that you end up serving 8-10 hours later – whoooaaa! This is fast and so delish, it is a must do! I want to get some chicken and make it soon!
The BBQ sauce sounds amazing, I will have to try this.
I’ll be using this sauce recipe as a different base for homemade pizza!
I love chicken sandwiches. Add on BBQ sauce and I am in HEAVEN! Thanks for this! 🙂
My mouth is watering. I love basil but I think I’ll use cilantro instead.
So tasty, thanks for the recipe!!!
This sounds delicious, even just the name, what’s not to like?! I’m seriously going to have to try this, pinning! I think I might like to add maybe 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, that would add a nice little contrast to the sweet.
That looks so tasty and easy to prepare as well!
We hear so much (and love) pulled pork sandwiches, but your pulled chicken with Worcestershire Sauce and basil makes our usual recipe archaic…thank you
Yummy, this looks so good. I am going to make this for Super Bowl weekend. Maybe make some homemade rolls for BBQ sandwiches. Yummy.
I’ve made pulled pork but never pulled chicken. Guess what we are having for dinner this week?
