In a medium bowl combine barbecue sauce and beer. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high-heat setting for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken from cooker, reserving cooking liquid. When cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones; discard bones. Using two forks, pull chicken apart into shreds. For sauce, skim fat from cooking liquid. Measure 2 cups of the cooking liquid; discard any remaining liquid. Pour the 2 cups liquid into a medium saucepan. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until reduced to about 1 cup. Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Hollow out bun halves, leaving 1/2-inch shells. Broil 5 to 6 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until buns are toasted. To serve, spoon half of the shredded chicken into toasted bun halves. Drizzle with half of the sauce. (Place the remaining shredded chicken in a freezer container; drizzle with the remaining sauce. Cover and freeze for up to 1 month.) Using a slotted spoon, spoon Maque Choux over sandwiches.
