Pulled BBQ Chicken
Slow cooking, lovely smelling, super tender, sandwich goodness.
I love my crock pot and find it absolutely irresistible. There is nothing I love more than dumping a few ingredients into the pot, turning it on and coming home a few hours later with dinner waiting for me.
I’m becoming quite the fan of pulled pork lately, but since I didn’t have any pork on hand I opted to make pulled chicken. I came across this recipe on my friend Dana's AMAZING blog - Clean Out Your Pantry. It turned out awesome! The chicken was very tender, and the sauce it cooked in was very tasty. I used the chicken to make sandwiches, but it would also be great on baked potatoes or can be used to make a BBQ chicken pizza (or even BBQ chicken nachos - which is my next mission in my little blog life).
I recommend a side dish of sweet potato fries and some sort of veggie (if you're in to that kinda thing). I served this on yummy whole grain rolls since Mr. Wishes requested more "healthy" food for the time being. He did admit he is already regretting his decision after he saw the "brown" rolls in place of his beloved white bread. What can I say? I just do as I'm told :o)
Now grab a fork – you will inescapably make a huge mess!
INGREDIENTS:
Pulled Chicken:
about 3 lbs chicken drumsticks (I cut skin off prior to cooking)
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup BBQ sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's)
PREPARATION:
Place all ingredients in your crock pot (mine is a 5 quart).
Cook on low for about 4 hours (my crock pot cooks fast, so make sure chicken is cooked)
Once cooked through, remove the meat from bones using a fork. Mix in a bowl with additional sauce left in crock, and any extra bbq sauce, to your liking.
Serve on rolls or bread (or alone, if you prefer).
Enjoy!

Yummy this looks amazing! :)
ReplyDeletelooks great, and I can't believe its that simple, never really thought about it, but now you have me ready to make some. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh this looks so good! I love pulled chicken but never have the patience to actually shred it. I never thought to slow cook it, I bet the meat falls right off the bone. Yum! Hopefully Mr. Wishes will learn to love whole wheat...it took me awhile but not the white stuff tastes starchy and yuck to me.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I love how you doctored up the BBQ sauce. :-)
