SWEET & SPICY PULLED BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine all of the sauce ingredients.
• Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. (Don't be alarmed at the bold flavor, it won't taste as strong once it's combined with the chicken)
• Heat the sauce on medium and let it barely simmer for about 5-10 minutes (optional)
• Mix sauce into shredded chicken a little at a time until your desired consistency is reached (I never use all the sauce since I just like my chicken to be lightly coated.
• Top the prepared potato buns with the BBQ chicken and then top with cole slaw (optional but recommended)
• Serve hot.

• Take off the lid and pour in the other half of the beer, turn the roast over, mix everything around real good and put the lid back on. Cook on medium-low for another 1 1/2 hours.The juices should be at a lower simmer now.
• When the time is up check tenderness. The meat should pull apart with a fork easily.
