slow-cooked bbq pulled chicken
my husband does back flips over this bbq pulled chicken. it is tender and melts in your mouth. use the reserved bbq sauce for the top of your sandwich or on the side if you are eating without a bun. great with our creamy homemade coleslaw. now, this makes A LOT of pulled chicken. you can freeze whatever you do not use or cut down on the serving amount. please tell me what bbq restaurant will give you bbq pulled chicken for this price!
