Instructions

Make the white BBQ sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, white vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and horseradish if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to use.
Prepare the chicken: Toss cooked chicken with half the white BBQ sauce until coated. Reserve the rest for drizzling.
Toast the buns: Lightly brush sub rolls with olive oil or butter. Toast in a skillet or oven until golden and crisp.
Assemble the subs: Layer lettuce (if using), sauced chicken, tomato slices, and pickles in each toasted bun. Drizzle extra white BBQ sauce over top.
Serve: Serve warm with your favorite Southern-style sides like coleslaw, chips, or baked beans.

Notes

Sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Great way to use leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken.
For a spicy kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the BBQ mix.
