A few months ago I discovered the blog The Crepes of Wrath, and drawn in by her insanely drool-worthy photos, I began trying some of her recipes.Oh MY.
This was the original recipe for crockpot pulled chicken. I took that recipe, plus some of the ideas from the comments, and ended up with the most amazing pulled chicken sandwiches that we've ever had. Jake was ready to build an alter to worship the barbequey goodness that was our dinner. So delicious, easy, and what a great way to cook without heating up the kitchen!
2 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless, chicken thighs
1/2 chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup Bulls Eye BBQ sauce with Guinness
1/2 cup ketchup
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes
1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
Put everything in a crock pot, cover, and cook on low for about 7-8 hours. Ours was finished in 7 hours. It will seem soupy, but don't worry-take out the chicken and shred with two forks, then add juices and mix until it seems well coated and moistened. I had some sauce left over which was fine.
Serve with toasted buns to pile the meat into at the table.
Serves 4-6.
