Here is a unique recipe that caught my attention because of it's unusual combination of chicken and baked potato.  The homestyle use of pulled chicken has a back-home kind of warmth that looks like you will have to make extra in order to have leftovers.  BBQ sauce has many uses and chefs love to use it in many different original dishes – it even makes a good substitue for ketchup- but when you mix it with chicken and a baked potato it looks like shangrila has been brought home to the kitchen table.
