Notes

This recipe features pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and packaged coleslaw for convenience, making it perfect for busy weeknights. You can swap low-fat mayonnaise for regular mayo or even Greek yogurt for a lighter twist. The white BBQ sauce develops even more flavor when made ahead and stored in the fridge, and feel free to add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat. Serve with potato salad, sweet potato fries, or a fresh cucumber and tomato salad for a complete meal.
