Hey guys! I’m excited to continue my partnership with Florida Orange Juice to bring you the recipe for these delicious Orange Juice BBQ Chicken Sandwiches.
Just like all my favorite recipes, this one is quick, easy, healthy, and super delicious. You’ll never want to make barbecue sauce without Florida Orange Juice again!
Whether you make these BBQ chicken sandwiches on the grill or in the kitchen, they’re perfect for your next summer cookout or weeknight meal!
Here’s what you’re working with ingredient-wise for this recipe:
The tangy citrus flavor from Florida Orange Juice really takes the chicken marinade and the BBQ sauce to the next level! Using 100% orange juice in the BBQ sauce also gives you a slightly sweet sauce without pouring cups of sugar into the pot, and adds a summery touch that you don’t get from most BBQ sauces.

The whole meal comes together quickly with just a few steps. First, roast or grill the chicken breasts coated in the smoky marinade, then, once cooked, shred the chicken and toss it in the BBQ sauce. That’s it! If you are using the oven, you can char the shredded chicken under the broiler to get more of a smoky flavor – or skip that step and just dig in. Up to you!
The BBQ chicken can be served with various BBQ sides (like slaw – try my watermelon rind coleslaw), or as a sandwich! Either way, I hope you enjoy it.

Whether you make these BBQ chicken sandwiches on the grill or in the kitchen, they’re perfect for your next summer cookout or weeknight meal! If you prefer sweeter BBQ sauce, feel free to add a little honey or pure maple syrup! You can always cook the sauce without it, then taste it to see if you want to stir in a tablespoon or two for an added touch of sweetness.Orange Juice BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
