Preparation

Which cheese goes well on a pulled chicken sandwich?

A cheese that melts well and has plenty of flavour goes best with pulled chicken. In this recipe, we use Henri Willig Organic Koekaas Chili. This cheese gives the sandwich a creamy, slightly spicy flavour and melts beautifully over the warm chicken. Would you like to make the sandwich a bit milder? Then you could also opt for red pesto cheese or another herby Henri Willig cheese.

 

How do you make pulled chicken nice and tender?

Let the chicken cook gently in chicken stock over a low heat. This keeps the meat juicy and makes it easy to pull apart with two forks afterwards. Mix the pulled chicken with the spicy mayonnaise whilst it’s still warm. This ensures the sauce is evenly distributed through the meat and keeps the chicken nice and moist.

 

Can you make pulled chicken in advance?

Yes, you can easily prepare the pulled chicken in advance. Store the cooked, shredded chicken, covered, in the fridge and reheat it thoroughly before serving. Then mix with the spicy mayonnaise and fill the hot dog buns with the chicken and grated cheese. Only place the buns under the grill just before serving, so that the bread stays nice and the cheese is freshly melted.
