Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 8 hamburger buns (see Note 1)
- 8 cups shredded cooked chicken (see Note 2)
- 1 cup Alabama White Sauce
- 32 dill pickle slices
- Butter for toasting buns
Instructions
- Mix the chicken with sauce: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with 1 cup of Alabama White Sauce. Toss well until all the chicken is evenly coated in the tangy, creamy sauce. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Toast the buns: Spread a thin layer of butter on the hamburger buns (optional for extra flavor). Toast them in a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until golden brown and slightly crisp. This adds texture and prevents sogginess from the sauce.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Place about 1 cup of the coated chicken mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top each with 4 dill pickle slices, adding a crunchy, tangy contrast. Finish by placing the top bun half over the filling.
- Serve: Serve immediately while the buns are warm. Each person can enjoy two sandwiches packed with delicious Alabama-style flavors.
Notes
- Regular hamburger buns work well, but brioche buns are recommended for a buttery, dense texture that holds up under the creamy Alabama White Sauce.
- For the chicken, rotisserie chicken or shredded BBQ Spatchcocked chicken basted with Alabama White Sauce during smoking are ideal choices for authentic flavor.
