Pulled Chicken with Honey Barbecue Sauce

I went to Blue Smoke a few weeks ago (if you haven't been, GO. seriously.), and have been craving barbeque ever since. Seeing as I can't afford to eat out all the time, I decided I'd try to make my own. I think it came out fantastically - the dry rub was so good that the chicken hardly needed the sauce. Since I made this for just me I ate it by itself, but if I were making it for others I'd serve it on a toasted bun with a bit of the sauce reserved, to dip. The honey barbecue sauce is sweet and tangy, and adds just the right amount of moisture and flavor to the spiced chicken. The perfect summer dish!
