Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches are a deliciously messy dinner with all the taste of barbecue you love without firing up the grill
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless skinless
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- kosher salt
- black pepper, ground
- 6 whole-wheat hamburger rolls
- coleslaw, optional
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium high heat. Once it shimmers, add the chicken thighs and sear until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate. Add onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in apple cider vinegar; using a wooden spoon stir up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Add ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire, cayenne and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Add the chicken back to the pan as well as any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Turn heat to low, cover and cook for 40 minutes.
- Once chicken is cooked, shred the meat with a fork in the skillet. Toss the meat through the sauce so it’s covered. Divide the pulled meat between 6 hamburger buns. Serve alongside with some coleslaw, if desired.
