This Week’s Recipe: Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Chicken
Inspiration: About a week ago, I really wanted some barbecue chicken.
In the throws of this craving, I discovered I’d mislaid my original bbq sauce recipe during our big move. So I poked around the internet and found myself a new one on SpruceEats….
And true to form, I made some changes.
I omitted liquid smoke (because I didn’t have a bottle anywhere in the house) and added a tablespoon of ginger, a teaspoon of lemongrass/turmeric paste, a teaspoon of garlic, and a teaspoon of chipotle powder rather than cayenne. I also used Portlandia’s Spicy Worcestershire Sauce rather than the plain stuff and soy sauce rather than regular salt. In addition, I made the sauce the day before and let it sit in the fridge overnight, so all the flavors melded nicely together. Then I put half the sauce and chopped up chicken thighs into the crockpot for five hours.
It turned out great! Together with homemade hamburger buns, it was excellent!
Christie: I could see Tommy & Tuppence and possibly Miss Marple eating shredded bbq chicken sandwiches during a block party or at a village fete. I think the sandwiches are a bit too messy for Poirot or Mr. Sattersthwaite….
