BBQ Shredded Chicken

 This is a very easy recipe that I put in the crockpot before work and it was done when I walked through the door after work.  It is tangy and delicious. 

 

 

BBQ Shredded Chicken

 

 

Put whatever amount of chicken breast in a crockpot you desire. Put on top of it some peppers, onions and a jalapeno. Add to the chicken and vegetables some juice. I used some Tomato and Green Chili juice but you can add chicken bouillon or just water.  You can add whatever seasoning you like.  Some ideas are Italian Seasoning, paprika, sage, tyme, chili powder, chipolte powder, or onion powder.  If you like it hot add some red pepper flakes but not too many or it will be too hot to enjoy.

 

Cook on low in the crockpot for at least 4-8 hours.  The chicken is so tender by cooking it this way.

 Shred it up and add some BBQ sauce of your choice, hot sauce, steak sauce in whatever amounts and combinations you like.




BBQ Sauce Recipe

I made slaw to top them by combining shredded Cabbage and Miracle Whip.  A couple of spoonful’s will work.  Add 1 TBS olive oil, 2 tsp of cerlery salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp chili powder and 1 tsp salt. 

I used some bagel thins for a bun topped it with BBQ Shredded Chicken, BBQ Sauce, and Cole Slaw on top.  You can omit any of the above ingredients and just have a BBQ Shredded Chicken Sandwich by itself.

Enjoy

 

 

 

 

Crispy Chicken

This crispy chicken is baked in the oven and is so moist yet crunchy on the outside.  I used a rub which was very spicy and it was still there when we ate the chicken.  It is a great alternative to fried chicken.






Crispy Chicken

The rub I created was made of about 4 Tbs of each of the following ingredients except salt for 3-5 pounds of chicken.  Paprika, chili powder, garlic power, oregano, ground rosemary and tyme, Tai chili powder, poultry seasoning, celery salt, black pepper, Chipotle seasoning, and no salt Mexican seasoning.  I put in only 1Tbs of salt.

I rubbed the chicken with all the spice that I mixed up.  I rubbed it well on the both side.

I put the chicken in the oven and baked the chicken.  It is the heat of the oven that makes it crispy chicken so frying is not needed.

Bake on 350 degrees for about 60 minutes until the meat is 170 degrees.  During the last 20 minutes of cooking you can add a sauce of your choice to the chicken.  I added bbq sauce to the crispy chicken and it was out of this world. 

The Crispy chicken recipe was delicious and the skin was crunchy like it was coated but I did not.
