My dad has been making a basic version of this family favorite for years. I've recently made it my own by spicing it up a bit with hoisin sauce and red pepper flakes. Sometimes I let the chicken and sauce simmer in my slow cooker. -Brigette Schroeder, Yorkville, Illinois

This recipe is really easy, and the sauce is filled with sweet smoky deliciousness. It is not a thick sauce, but you can easily put a little more on the top of each sandwich if you'd like. The meat is juicy and tender, and I enjoy adding a few tasty toppings to my sandwiches: sliced dill pickles and slices of pepper jack cheese. This recipe is for a pressure cooker, but it also can be made in the slow cooker-just cook on low for 8 hours. -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

  • Cook the chicken slowly: Low and slow cooking is the key to tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken.
