Ever since the weather has been warm enough this summer break, one of our favorite things to do has been splash in our backyard pool. The kids can’t get enough of the water, and honestly, neither can I.
After a day spent in the pool, though, whether lounging in a floatie where you’ll usually find me or doing backflips with their snorkling masks on as the kids now love to do, the last thing I want to get out of the pool for is to head to the kitchen to cook a large, time-consuming meal. We all want a dinner that’s effortless.
Thankfully, Walmart has it covered.
Located at the front of the store are these Effortless Meal displays, with Coke and Walmart’s own Marketside rotisserie chickens. Available in a number of varieties with different seasonings, I love rotisserie chickens because they’re so versatile.
Along with the Marketside rotisserie chicken, I also picked up a 2 liter of Coke, because while my kids don’t drink soda, the adults in the family do. Not only that, but I can make a simple barbecue sauce to drizzle over the shredded pieces of rotisserie chicken for quick and easy Coke BBQ Sandwiches! At a picnic pool-side, of course! I also picked up 16 oz bottles for truly effortless drinking.
As much as I love barbecue sauce, though, we really do use just a drizzle of it since it is summer and you don’t want a heavy sandwich after a day in the pool.
You can always pour the barbecue sauce in a mason jar and let your picnic-mates add as little or as much as they want.
A simple side of baked chips and you have a delicious effortless picnic meal that will get you out of the kitchen and back outside with your family within minutes!

I have not had a good BBQ sandwich in a long time. I need to get this dunner on the menu next week. It looks amazing.
That sounds absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to make these for my family!
Mmmm… this looks yummy!
I just picked up some chicken for dinner tonight.
Will have to save the leftovers so we can make BBQ sandwiches tomorrow.
The sauce looks so delicious.
These look so good and so easy to make! I’ve been struggling with summer dinners so I’ll definitely be trying this idea!
I would never have to make this with the chicken I always buy at walmart! Looks delicious!
Those sandwiches look good. And the rotisserie chickens at Walmart are very versatile.
Yum! Don’t mind if I do! Those look delicious! We love our Coke around here 🙂
Yum!! I need to make this for our 4th of July party we are having! Looks yummy!
I do a Dr.Pepper BBQ but I think I need to try your light version using Coke, sounds perfect for summer! We pick up rotisserie chickens all the time but I never thought to do anything other than eat it straight, thanks for the idea.
What an awesome way to use rotisseries chicken. I’d love to try this for a quick picnic meal.
Coca-Cola is my weakness… I just can’t get enough! I am so trying this… Looks delish!!
That looks like the perfect post-pool lunch. It’s been so fun and so exhausting trying to keep the summer fun going.
Looks like a super fun day at the pool! This looks perfect for a nice lighter meal after a full day outside!
This looks absolutely fantastic. And I love Coke, so it’s a win-win!
That sandwich looks delicious!! Perfect for a lunch at the pool!
I like a thick barbecue sauce, and a lot of it. To me that is the essence of summer.
Looks like a great way to spend the summer! I wouldn’t want to leave that pool either. 🙂 #client
