Method of making
we’re making some delicious barbecue chicken sandwiches with my famous SLO I say famous because it’s famous around here amongst our friends and family but this whole sandwich together is absolutely incredible and if you love a classic pulled barbecue like a pulled pork something like that you’ll love this recipe I’m using chicken so it’s quicker to make I think it’s a little friendlier it’s not as I I find that it’s not as uh intimidating and it comes together within an hour which is am amazing so if you’re having people over for 4th of July you can make these um and they’re fantastic you can make this in a slow cooker in which case you would add every single thing here to a slow
cooker and cook it on slow for eight hours hi I however I’m not going to do that so the first thing I’ve got is a pot here with some aromatics I’ve got some onion that I just cut in half few cloves of garlic peppercorn and salt up to a simmer because this has been simmering a few seconds a few minutes and this is my poaching liquid my my meat of choice is going to be boneless skinless chicken thighs that I’ve trimmed um you can also use breast although you know I find breast to be quite dry and I don’t think you get the same sort of succulent delicious barbecue sandwich that you deserve if you will I’m going to cook these gently for about 20 25 minutes until they’ll fully cook through

and they’ll be really nice and tender and perfect to shred so once that’s there I’ll cook them I’ll shred them and I’ll have the them ready and in the meantime all I’m going to do is take the other half of my onion thinly slice it and then I have everything ready to make my pulled barbecue chicken for my pulled barbecue chicken sandwiches that’s a appful my chicken’s fully cooked through I went ahead and just shredded it with my hands discarded any big pieces of fat now I’ve got my pan here preheating with a little bit of olive oil to it I’m going to go ahead and add in a the other half of the sliced onion keep in mind I’m only making a small batch of the pulled chicken just because I don’t need that much just for the four of us this evening um however the co SL I’m using I’m making like
a what I would call like a full batch which is like a standard 14 oz bag of pre-shredded coela so you’ll likely have extra coela if you’re only making um about 2 lbs of the chicken but the coasta is just delicious and you’ll eat it alongside anyway make yourself some corn on the and it’s like a perfect All American Summer meal I’m going to go ahead and just sauté these until they soften and then we’ll add in our chicken onions look great I’m going to go ahead and add in my chicken give that a nice little stir I’m going to go ahead and season it this is just some like

it’ll look liquidy at first but you kind of want that because you want it to have plenty of liquid to simmer and that chicken to just really become succulent and gorgeous and I’m going to just do that by placing a lid on it letting it go on like medium low and in the meantime I’m going to clean up really quickly we put together the SLO so that’s done and then that’s pretty much it let’s make the COA we love this coaa my friends and family are obsessed with this COA um it’s kind of like a go-to for us it’s perfect it’s not really sweet it’s not super Tangy it’s got a perfect balance I’ve got some mayo and I’ve got some yellow mustard too and I’m going to add a little bit of sugar not much just a little bit of sugar I’m going to offset that with vinegar you can use um apple cider or like a white wine
