This recipe was born from a dare. My husband dared me to make a bbq sauce from his Scottish Ale and use okra. Not a problem. In the end, he LOVED this sandwich so much, he ate 2!

How To Make southern farmhouse bbq chicken sandwich

Step 1

SAUCE Saute onion in 1 TBSP oil over medium heat until translucent. Add Scottish Ale and brown sugar. Boil for 10 minutes. Reduce heat. Add ketchup, garlic powder, black pepper, vanilla, vinegar, mustard, and hot sauce. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 2

CHICKEN While sauce is cooking, place chicken breasts in a large sauce pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes or until breasts are thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and allow to cool to the touch. Shred chicken. Add shredded chicken to prepared bbq sauce. Simmer on low for 10 minutes.
Step 3

BACON On a microwave safe plate or microwave bacon cooking plate, place bacon slices and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Cook bacon until crisp. Generally, 45 second per slice. Set aside to cool.
Step 4

OKRA Heat vegetable oil in a fryer or deep skillet. In a medium size bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, and cajun seasoning. Dip okra in buttermilk and then, dredge in breading mixture. Shake off excess. Fry okra until golden brown.
