spbull472,
i think its a very small regional thing up in the merrimac river valley of massachusetts and doesnt exist elsewhere. we used to have small lunch shacks that served the mills and everyplace served a chicken barb sandwhich. the chicken was kept in hot broth and squeezed between slotted spoons then onto a hamburg bun. cheap inexpensive sandwiches. fast food places have put almost all the shacks out of business as much as the closing of those mills over the years. while not bbq, they are good and better for you than what the fastfood places are now serving. i remember a story from way back when the river had salmon and the old mills were canneries, the first union moved in and the number one thing they did for the workers was to force the canneries to make lunch from something other than salmon one day a week which was were the chicken barb was born.
