Earlier this year I learnt how to easily shred chicken, read more here.  The kids have been really enjoying it on their sandwiches for school, but I thought I would add a bit of flavour as my Mr 11 loves BBQ sauce!  This recipe takes at least an hour on the stove, but it is not very fiddly.  You can easily prepare this before you start dinner and by the time you have finished eating dinner it should be ready.

What else would you suggest instead of onions and capsicum. Also I don’t really have a use for rice wine vinegar so what could I substitute this with? Kind Regards

Hi Narelle, I haven’t tried it with normal vinegar so I wouldn’t know the ratios but perhaps try plain shredded chicken with a little mayo and seasoning.
