Well, Sunday I endeavored to make crock pot pulled chicken sandwiches for a crowd. I borrowed my sister's crock pot, and between hers and mine, put ten pounds of chicken in, with a few bottles of BBQ sauce, and set it to high for 4 hours. It feels a little misleading to call it a recipe, because that is basically it. It really is so easy. But of course I messed it up - kind of. One of the two crock pots had a slightly bowed lid, which was steadily allowing heat to escape(!), so after the 4 hours cooking, it wasn't quite 'stir it a bit with a fork and watch it fall apart' done (that's the last part of the 'recipe' :P), so rather than feed the masses sub-standard BBQ chicken sandwiches, instead I ordered pizzas and let the chicken finish cooking. After we got home, the chicken was perfectly done in both crock pots, so I shredded it and froze it for the next time we're feeding the masses. I'll just thaw it, and reheat in the crock pot with a little more BBQ sauce - yum! Of course this 'recipe' works in any quantity, and is great at the end of a work day!
Pulled Chicken Sandwiches
buns
BBQ sauce
chicken (breast, thigh, whatever, boneless or bone-in depending on how much work you want to put in after it's done cooking)
Pour a little BBQ sauce into the crock pot. Add layers of chicken, squirting a little BBQ sauce in between each layer. Set crock pot to high for 3-4 hours, or low for 8-10 hours. Remove chicken to bowl, stir with a fork until it shreds, and add a little more BBQ sauce to the chicken. Serve on toasted buns - yum!
