CEiMB: Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

OK. I'm back. While I won't admit that it's the end of the summer (that's September 22 -- I have 13 more days of summer, thank you very much) there has been a lot of "end-of-summer" activity going on around here, and it's been difficult to catch my breath. Now that we're past Labor Day, I think that things should return to their usual pace, and I have some catching up to do! First off, this week Pam, of Cookies with Boys, chose these pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches. I love Pam's blog because she routinely makes really delicious looking, healthy food, and these sandwiches were no exception! I'd pondered cooking my own skinless chicken breasts, but I ran out of time so I picked up the rotisserie chicken that the recipe calls for. The recipe is seriously easy, the only time consuming part is making the sauce, and even that isn't too bad. I don't have liquid smoke, and truthfully, liquid smoke is so strange to me. So, I subbed chipotle powder for some added kick and smoke. I thought the sauce needed some help, some extra salt,a little sugar, and some spices; other than that, this is a great, super easy recipe. I served it with coleslaw, and it was a delicious dinner. Thanks to Pam for such a great pick, you can find the recipe here or head over to Cookies with Boys and check it out.

Could I have some of this now, even if the sauce needs some help? Or did you help it already? I really shouldn't read foodie blogs on my lunch hour...
