A delicious way to make shredded chicken for a sandwich.
Ingredients
- 2 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 Tbsp. oil
- 1 c. BBQ sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 Tbsp. water, as needed
Instructions
- Heat cast iron to medium-high (7) heat. Rinse chicken thighs and pat dry. Add oil and lightly brown chicken on both sides, repeating in batches until all chicken is done.
- Add BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chicken to a pot and simmer over medium-low (3) heat until it can be shredded, 15-20 minutes. Remove chicken from pot, shred with 2 forks or a kitchen mixer, then return to pot.
- Allow shredded chicken to simmer for ~20-30 minutes, uncovered, until very tender and sauce has thickened.
