Notes

How can my kids help?  Have them toss in those seasonings!
You want to store your chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You don't want to store the chicken on the buns because they will get soggy.
To shred your chicken, I like the old-school way of using 2 forks. I have found it to be the easiest way to shred chicken. You stick them into the meat and pull them apart. You can also use a kitchen stand mixer if you happen to own one.
