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.

Steps:
- Remove all visible fat from the chicken and toss it in the crock pot.
- Place the onion slices on top of the chicken.
- Pour the barbecue sauce over top.
- You may not need the entire jar, just enough to cover the chicken.
- Cook it on LOW for 8 hours or until the chicken is nice and tender.
- Shred the chicken with a fork and knife; scoop the mixture onto the bottom buns and top it with the top buns.
- Or, if you're like my dad, you might prefer leaving the breasts whole and eating it that way.
- Voila!
- An easy weeknight meal that doesn't heat up your kitchen in the summertime!
- I love this with potato chips and a carrot and raisin salad.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for pulled chicken sandwiches. Dark meat chicken tends to be more flavorful, but white meat is leaner.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what gives pulled chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a sauce that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. Some popular options include barbecue sauce, honey mustard, and teriyaki sauce.
- Cook the chicken on low: Cooking the chicken on low heat will help to keep it moist and juicy. Cook the chicken for at least 6-8 hours, or until it is cooked through.
- Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it. You can also use a mixer or food processor to shred the chicken, but be careful not to over-shred it.
- Serve the chicken: Serve the pulled chicken on hamburger buns or rolls. You can also serve it on top of rice or salad. Be sure to add your favorite toppings, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Conclusion:
Pulled chicken sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can be easily customized to suit your own taste. With a little planning, you can have a delicious pulled chicken sandwich on the table in no time.
