Servings: 5 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 4 hours Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 700g skinless chicken thigh fillets
- 40g BBQ spice rub (McCormick Grill Mates Smokin Texas BBQ Rub works great, but any BBQ spice rub from the spice aisle will do the job)
- 1 red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 250ml chicken stock
Texas BBQ Shredded Chicken: Directions
- Place the whole, raw chicken fillets into your slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the BBQ spice rub over the chicken, then add the diced onion and minced garlic. Mix everything together well so the chicken gets nicely coated.
- Pour the chicken stock over the top of the chicken.
- Put the lid on and cook on low heat for 4 hours.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks. The chicken will soak up the leftover liquid as you shred it, making it extra juicy and flavorful.
- Serve it your favorite way such as on a baked potato, on pizza, on pasta, in a salad, or on a burger. It goes well with just about anything!
