Pulled Barbecue Chicken- Slow Cooked

-
On holiday a couple of months ago many of the place we ate at had pulled pork on their menu. However I am not a huge fan of pork so I have been looking for a good chicken alternative. This can recipe came up on my news feed and I thought that it sounded great so I would give it a go. As it is cooked in the slow cooked for around 6 hours in total some forward planning is required but the end result is amazing. The side options are endless but as you can see below I opted to serve mine in a roll with coleslaw and onion rings on the side. (I will post this recipe too!)

Firstly place the chicken into the slow cooker. In a bowl whisk together the barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken and put the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 1/2 to 5 hours.

After this time remove the chicken from the slow cooker and put on your chopping board. In a small bowl mix together the corn flour and chicken stock. Stir this into the sauce in the slow cooker. Put the lid back on the slow cooker and cook on high for 15 minutes to thicken the sauce. In the meantime using 2 forks shred the chicken. 

Before returning the shredded chicken to the slow cooker taste the sauce. If you want to at this time add the extra barbecue sauce to increase the flavour. Return the shredded chicken to the thickened sauce. Stir to coat the chicken and cook on low for a further 45 minutes.




This was really well received and was really easy to make. It would be easy to make for a large group of people. The 900 grams easily would be enough for 6 people. Depending on the side that you serve with it you could probably spread it further.

Until next time, Happy cooking, Kate.

***Ingredients
  • 900 grams chicken breast, boneless & skinless
  • 1 cup Barbecue Sauce, one you really like
  • 1/3 cup Italian Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons corn flour
  • 2 tablespoons chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup Barbecue sauce, optional

Rhubarb Jelly

I made Pork for mother's day. (Will post shortly). To go with the Roast Pork I made Rhubarb jelly. Lets get started in a large stock pot place the rhubarb, apple and lemon juice and seeds. Pour over 1.5 litres of water. Bring the pot to a simmer over a medium heat. Once simmering reduce the heat and cook for 1- 1 1/4 hours until pulpy. Strain through a muslin-lined sieve. It should make 1 litre. Do not push the pulp throught the sieve it will make the jelly cloudy. Pour the liquid into a clean saucepan and add the sugar. Stir over a medium to high heat until the sugar resolves. Simmer the mixture until the mixture reaches setting point. To check if it is at setting point chill a saucer in the freezer. Return to the freezer for 1 minutes. If the mixture wrinkles it is ready. Remove from heat, stand for 10 minutes. Remove any scum from the surface and stir in the vinegar. Ladle into sterilised jars. Add a rosemary sprig to each, seal and stand until cooled to room temp...

Peri Peri BBQ Chicken Pizza

This recipe combines some flavours that I really like. And is there anything better that a home made pizza. I have posted my recipe for pizza bases on my lamb pizza  post earlier this year. This recipe is amazing and the more times that you make it the easier it gets! Now for the topping, you can cook this on your BBQ, if you have a BBQ with a hood, otherwise you can grill the chicken and onion in a grill pan on a hot plate. Spray the capsicum with some oil and put into an oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20-30 minutes until the skin begins to black. (If you are doing on your BBQ place them onto the grill and cook until charred all over. Turning as required.) Once cooked place into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to stand for 5 minutes. Peel the skin off and deseed. Cut up to your desired size. While you are waiting for the capsicum to seam in the bowl, process the garlic, chilli, paprika and oregano until finely chopped. Add the lemon juice and oil and continue t...

Spice Rub Butterflied Chicken

I has been pretty hot here in Melbourne for the last couple of week and I also haven't had an oven😢 So I was looking for something to cook on the BBQ. I am a fan of butterflied chicken because it cooks quicker than a traditional roast. I also like that it is easier to get marinade to stay on the bird while you are trying to cook it. I made this for my family and some of them, not naming names, aren't huge fans of chilli, so I reduce the amount of flakes that I used. However if I was making it for myself I wouldn't hesitate to use the full amount. I don't think that the full quantity would be to hot at all. Obviously depending on the type of flakes that you use. Preheat your oven or hooded BBQ to 200 degrees Celsius.  I prefer to butterfly my own chickens. It is really easy and once you have done it once or twice and you know where to cut you will never buy one again pre-cut. I suggest watching one of the many videos on YouTube. It will give you the added visua...
