BBQ Bacon Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

This simple recipe tastes amazing. We prefer putting mayo on the bun and adding cheddar or Muenster cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion. Several of us put ranch dressing on our sandwiches, too. —Jennifer Darling, Ventura, California

    loved the rootbeer in this recipe and it made a lot and was very juicy - didn't use quite that amount of bacon but did allow one strip per sandwich
