  • For the sweet and sour sauce, you can use bottled sweet and sour sauce or make your own. To make your own, simply combine apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ketchup in a saucepan and simmer over low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, simply place the pulled chicken on a bun and top with the sweet and sour sauce, coleslaw, and pineapple.
  • For a healthier version of the sandwich, use whole-wheat buns and low-fat mayonnaise.
