Holy hot June. Did someone secretly move me to Texas?? Unreal. Anyhow, tonight's is a family favorite (I mean everyone including extended family). I make these throughout the summer as they are often requested. They're very simple. Don't be alarmed by the long ingredient list... it's all spices. This was a Cooking Light recipe that I've modified for the crock pot.
Pulled chicken sandwiches:
2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Rub:
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Sauce:
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1 c. ketchup
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
Rub chicken with spices. Place in crock pot. Mix all sauce ingredients together and pour over chicken. I cook on low for about 6 hours and then mash it with a potato masher to get it "pulled" without having to remove it from the crock pot. Serve on buns with pickle slices.
Enjoy! I serve these with slaw, fries and baked beans.
