Notes
For a spicy kick, mix hot sauce or smoked paprika into the BBQ sauce. Leftover chicken works well for quick preparation. You can make the BBQ chicken mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. Try different fillings like sautéed mushrooms or various sauces for unique flavors.
