PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES (CROCK POT)
A personal take on a recipe from the "Slow Cooker Bible" and based on recipes typical of North Carolina styled BBQ. The sauce is tangy and flavorful but not spicy as the amount of hot sauce is just enough to balance the sweetness of the ketchup. Certainly mild enough to serve to kids. It you want more zing, add more tabasco or a chopped chipotle pepper en adobo. (If your crock pot is large enough, this easily doubles and the leftovers can be frozen.)

Steps:
- Cut the onion in half and slice into thin half rings. Line the bottom of the crock pot with the onions.
- Trim the chicken breasts and place on top of the bed of onions.
- Mix all of the sauce ingredients together and pour on top of the chicken covering completely. (I make the sauce the night before so that it is a simple dump and run in the morning.)
- Cook for 6 hours on low setting. The sauce thickens and turns into a dark rich brown during cooking. At the same time the onions dissolve into the sauce.
- When the chicken is falling apart tender, take two forks and shred the chicken.
- Serve on top of split buns. I like mine toasted so they hold up better to the weight of the shredded chicken.
- Suggested sides include baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw or cucumber salad.

SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED CHICKEN
This is a delicious, smoky, slow cooker dish that is easy to make, and it doesn't require a BBQ grill or smoker. My husband and I love this dish and enjoy it on freshly baked or toasted onion rolls but really any bun is fine. I serve it with fries and sometimes coleslaw. Enjoy.

Tips:
- For a mouthwatering pulled chicken, ensure you use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. These cuts remain succulent and tender throughout the cooking process.
- Experiment with various barbecue sauces to achieve your desired flavor profile. Whether you prefer a tangy, smoky, or sweet sauce, the options are endless. Feel free to create your own homemade sauce or select a store-bought brand that suits your taste.
- Enhance the flavors by adding a variety of seasonings and spices to the chicken. Garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and onion powder are excellent choices that complement the barbecue sauce well.
- To add a smoky touch to the pulled chicken, consider using a liquid smoke flavoring. This ingredient can be found in most grocery stores and imparts a delicious smoky flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the crock pot with chicken breasts. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches to ensure even cooking and prevent them from steaming instead of roasting.
- For a thicker and more flavorful sauce, remove the chicken from the crock pot towards the end of the cooking time and let the sauce simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
- Serve the pulled chicken on hamburger buns, tortillas, or as a standalone dish. Accompany it with your favorite sides such as coleslaw, baked beans, or potato salad for a complete meal.

Crock-Pot BBQ pulled chicken is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed in various settings.
