BBQ chicken sandwich recipe?

[nertsmommy]

I'm looking to make BBQ chicken (shredded) sandwiches. I thought I had sauce in the pantry, but I don't and I can't go get any so i need a recipe for BBQ sauce. Every recipe I've looked up calls for ketchup as the main ingredient for the sauce. I'd rather use the tomato sauce or tomato paste I have tons of. Does anyone have a good recipe? We usually use a sweet honey BBQ sauce so something like that.

Thanks.

OK, this sounds good! :thumbup: I have a great sloppy joe recipe. Now I'm wondering how sloppy joe "sauce" compares to bbq sauce.

Would you mind sharing your sloppy joe sauce recipe? I've been trying different ones to get away from buying Manwich (no one likes it but me). The ones I've tried so far everyone likes but me.

I've played around with making homemade bbq sauce and have never landed on one that was a true keeper so I can't help you there. En route I did try this way of preparing the chicken and it's wonderful. We like the meat as is for sandwiches or with just a bit of storebought sauce spread on top once it's on the bun.
