- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 6 brioche buns
- Coleslaw for topping (optional)
- Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Mix BBQ sauce, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, then pour over the chicken.
- Cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until chicken shreds easily.
- Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker.

- Let the mixture sit on warm for 10 minutes to allow even distribution.
- Serve on brioche buns with coleslaw if desired. Divide evenly for consistent dosing.
Dosing Tips for Your Cannabis BBQ Pulled Chicken
- Spread a measured tablespoon of cannabis butter, mayo, or spread on the bread for a consistent 5-10 mg dose per sandwich.
- Calculate the mg per tablespoon of your cannabutter and apply the same amount to each sandwich you make.
- Spread the cannabis fat edge-to-edge across the entire bread slice so every bite delivers an equal portion of the dose.
- Sandwiches combine protein, fat, and carbs for slow, steady digestion. Expect onset in 60-90 minutes with effects lasting 4-6 hours.
- Adding cannabutter after cooking ensures no THC is lost to excessive heat during the slow cooking process.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Concentrating all the cannabis spread in the center of the bread leaves the crusts dose-free and the middle overly potent.
- Grilling or toasting a cannabis sandwich at high heat for too long can degrade THC in the spread. Use moderate heat for short periods.
- Packing a cannabis sandwich without labeling it, risking someone else eating it by accident.
- Using so much cannabis spread that it overwhelms the other flavors and makes the sandwich greasy.
How to Store Cannabis BBQ Pulled Chicken
- Cannabis sandwiches should be eaten within a few hours for best quality. Refrigerate immediately if not consuming right away.
- The cannabis spread itself stores well for 1-2 weeks refrigerated. Apply to fresh bread as needed.
- Clearly wrap and label cannabis sandwiches distinctly from regular ones using different wrapping material or a visible marker.
- Pulled chicken keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Variations & Ideas
- Make cannabis-infused mayo by emulsifying cannabis oil into egg yolk with a stick blender for the ultimate sandwich spread.
- Spread cannabis butter on warm toast or a panini for a simple vehicle that pairs with any filling combination.
- Mix cannabis oil into pesto or tapenade for a flavorful Mediterranean sandwich spread.
- Swap chicken for jackfruit for a vegan version, or serve over cornbread instead of buns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cannabis butter is classic and works with nearly anything. Cannabis mayo is more versatile for cold sandwiches. Cannabis hummus and guacamole are excellent plant-based options. Choose the spread that best complements your filling ingredients.
Yes, moderate grilling temperatures are safe. For extra assurance, grill with regular butter on the outside, then open the sandwich and apply the cannabis spread to the warm interior before closing and serving.
Wraps offer slightly more even dose distribution because you coat the entire tortilla surface before rolling. With sliced bread, the edges may have less spread. Both formats work well for cannabis edibles.
Apply a measured amount of cannabis spread to each sandwich individually rather than making a large batch. This ensures each person gets a known, consistent dose. Provide non-infused sandwiches alongside so guests can choose.
You can prepare the cannabis spread in advance and store it for weeks. However, assemble sandwiches fresh daily for the best quality. Some fillings like peanut butter and jam hold up to advance preparation, while others like lettuce and tomato do not.
