Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 4 cups buttermilk
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups cornmeal
  • 4 teaspoons salt
  • 5 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ head green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • ¼ head red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 3 large carrots, shredded
  • 2 rotisserie chickens, shredded
  • 24 pickle chips
  • 12 toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth. In another bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow it to cool before slicing.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, paprika, brown sugar, and black pepper. Heat over medium heat for about 10 minutes, then let it cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, paprika, and salt. Add the cabbage and carrots, then toss well and chill in the fridge.
  4. Shred the rotisserie chicken and toss it in some of the barbecue sauce. For assembly, slice the cornbread into 24 squares. On a plate, place one square of cornbread, add the shredded chicken, top with coleslaw and pickle chips, and finish with another square of cornbread. Secure with a toothpick.

Notes

Prepare the barbecue sauce and coleslaw a day in advance to save time. You can use store-bought cornbread if needed.
