Ingredients for BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

3 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika · 1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt · 1/2 tsp black pepper

Stir in at the end

1/2 cup barbecue sauce, held back

Hold back half a cup

Sauce cooked for six hours loses its edge. The reserved half cup stirred in at the end puts the bright tang back.

How to make it

BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches in the slow cooker

Put the chicken in the pot.
Whisk the barbecue sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper together and pour it over. Lid on.
Low 6 hours or high 3 hours.
Shred in the pot with two forks.
Stir through the reserved barbecue sauce and leave the lid off for 15 minutes so it tightens up.
Pile onto buns with pickle slices.

Swap it

Thighs give a richer sandwich, same times. A spoon of chipotle in adobo turns it smoky and hot.
