Chicken salad with BBQ'd chicken?

I have leftover chicken leg quarter meat, pulled off bone. It's got a smokey, light barbecue kind of flavor. No one's eating it and I don't like it like that, so I want to make chicken salad maybe. But don't want it wasted if it turns out gross! I have Miracle Whip, garlic, onion, lemon, lime, hickory salt, ketchup, mustard. But I'm out of BBQ sauce, so can't add more of that. Any ideas or if any actually makes a chicken salad from BBQ'd chicken that'd be great.Chicken salad with BBQ'd chicken?
I'd suggest a chicken salad w/ a flavored sauce (that you eat w/ a fork, not in a samwich), and I think your chicken meat will be wonderful in it!

I don't know about that. I would just simmer the chicken in a bit of ketchup, garlic, and onion, (or the original BBQ Sauce if you had more) and just make pulled chicken BBQ sandwiches or sliders.



Besides, unless your family loves chicken salad (which I personally detest) they're probably going to be less inclined to eat it than the chicken itself.
I probably would nix the mayo all together. I don't think bbq and mayo would taste very good together. Why not try an Asian style salad. Top with Asian style dressing. Maybe add mandarin oranges, chinese noodles, bamboo chutes, baby corn.Chicken salad with BBQ'd chicken?
How about a salad with greens, corn, tortilla strips, some pinto beans and ranch dressing. Or chicken taco salad.
You might consider using the chicken meat in a quesadilla with grilled onions and cheese, or consider putting it in a salad with your favorite dressing and greens. You can add it to a can of pork and beans, along with brown sugar and a slice of bacon, chopped, and bake it until the beans are thick and bubbling.
