Ingredients
•
2 (4 pound) whole chickens, cut up
•
1 1/2 cups ketchup
•
3/4 cup prepared mustard
•
5 tablespoons brown sugar
•
5 tablespoons minced garlic
•
5 tablespoons honey
•
1/4 cup steak sauce
•
4 tablespoons lemon juice
•
3 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
•
salt and pepper to taste
•
12 hamburger buns
•
3 cups prepared coleslaw
Directions
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.
