Who’s excited for football season to start?? Not me haha I don’t follow football but my husband does & he’s a huge Steelers fan. In honor of kickoff tonight, I slow roasted chicken thighs with a ton of seasoning in order to make pulled chicken sandwiches with baked fries for dinner! So full of flavor & so easy! I just seasoned the chicken with all of the ingredients for my homemade bbq sauce & let those flavors cook into the meat for 6.5 hours. Using the slow cooker is the best way to get this done, it’s ready by the time you come home.
Time: 10 mins prep, 6.5 hours cook time, 5 mins assembly
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken thighs, skin removed
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon coconut nectar
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon granulated onion
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon smoked hot paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
Recipe:
- Put the chicken thighs in your slow cooker & pour all of the above ingredients on top of them.
- Turn the slow cooker on low for 6.5 hours & cover it. If you can, use tongs to turn the chicken over every 2 hours or so, so that the sauce coats evenly around the meat. It’s not necessary if you’re not home to do this step.
- When the time is up, use tongs to remove the bones. The meat should break apart very easily, just use the tongs or two forks to break it. You should be able to mix it around so it gets coated in the sauce from the bottom of the slow cooker.
That’s literally all it is to it! Make a sandwich, little sliders, whatever you want.
