Valerie's BBQ Pulled Chicken

























This recipe is from my daughter-in-law, Valerie. Her notes say "makes ALOT" and great for a crowd. Easy, breezy crockpot recipe. It is best if made the night before; so flavors meld and chicken sops up the sauce. I made the Homemade Slider Buns (blog: March 2, 2020, label: yeast breads). Serve with extra BBQ sauce, pickles and chopped onions. Also would be excellent as the protein for nachos! Then add the CHEESE!

Ingredients:

  • 5-6 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (I like thighs)
  • 2 onions, finely diced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 4 ounces tomato paste
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (I should have tried BAM)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or cayenne
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt (once cooked, season to taste)
Directions:
Grease your crockpot people. Add diced onion and garlic. Add rest of sauce of ingredients and then your chicken. Stir to combine.

Cook on low for 6 hours. An hour before cooking is complete; shred chicken with a fork and stir to coat with the sauce.
