Cooking Directions

  1. Stir tomato sauce, chiles, vinegar, honey, paprika, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, ground chipotle and salt in a 6-quart slow cooker until smooth. Add chicken, onion and garlic; stir to combine.
  2. Put the lid on and cook on low until the chicken can be pulled apart, about 5 hours.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred with a fork. Return the chicken to the sauce, stir well and serve.

Yield: 8 servings

3. Still Hungry?

This fanciful reinterpretation of pulled pork uses chicken and lots of tomato sauce. Have sliced jalapenos, sliced red onions and some sour cream on hand to top this hearty main course.

Notes:

Make Ahead Tip

Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

  • Yummy Yummy (and a quicker way to prepare)

    j-money - May 7, 2007 04:16:43 PM PST
    This recipe was really good the sauce is nice and tangy. I had to modify it a bit because I didn\'t have honey or tomato paste (used maple syrup and some reduced stewed tomatoes). Also the sauce was a touch thin so i threw it some corn starch. And since I didn\'t have 5 hours to stew I just shredded the raw chicken and threw it in my stock pot. About a half hour or so later it was piping hot and ready! I served it on some grilled onion rolls with a light corn salad, it was deeeelish!

  • White breasts

    I used chicken breasts instead of thighs because my wife likes white meat (not that you could tell) and it came out fine as well.

  • LOVED IT!

    I followed all the directions exactly and it came out great. Except at the end after I pulled the chicken apart I put it in a bowl and added maybe 1/2 a cup of the gravy and 1/2 cup of bar-b-q sauce. Served on buns with cole slaw on top the chicken was great. Very impressive meal!

  • So easy, so delicious

    Melissa - September 26, 2008 08:26:29 AM PST
    This is seriously about the easiest recipes I\'ve ever tried, and one of the most seriously delicious. It\'s truly fantastic, I think the barbecue flavor is spot-on, the chicken is incredibly moist, the sauce is the perfect consistency for pulled chicken - pulled chicken is not supposed to be in a thick sauce! The only change I would make to the recipe is that 5 hrs is a bit too long a cooking time, 4.5 hrs is more like it.

    About any bbq chicken recipe is good for ya,depends on the extras you add.One lady wrote "sauce to thin"yet she used maple syrup instead of honey,duh;and one person wrote that this wasn\'t true bbq because they thought bbq should be smoked,not necessarily true.Your taste buds will tell you whether or not this is good bbq or not;My opinion is it was pretty good ,but you could use your favorite bbq sauce with 1/4 cup of water ,to help marinate chicken while cooking.Good Luck!!
