Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Ingredients:
- 700 g chicken thighs boneless and skinless, pack
- 1 onion peeled and diced, small, white
- 1 Tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 200 g pineapple chunks
- 1 red pepper
- 2 Tsp Garlic puree
- 1 Tbsp Chinese five spice
- 2 Tbsp worcester sauce
- sweet and sour sauce sachet
- 4 bread buns
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Sauté your onion and chicken with a little extra virgin olive oil.
- Load in everything but the bread buns and sweet and sour sauce.
- Mix well.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for either 4 hours on high or 7 hours on low.
- Remove everything from the slow cooker apart from the chicken and put to one side.
- Load in the sweet and sour sauce, plus a little of the juices from the chicken and using meat claws shred the chicken.
- Load into sandwiches with some pineapple and pepper that you put to one side.
- Serve.
Notes
- It is important that the chicken thighs you cook are totally thawed as it is dangerous to cook frozen chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
- I like to reserve the juices from the slow cooker and freeze once cool. It makes the perfect stock for next time you make slow cooker pulled chicken.
- I sautéed my onion first with the chicken. I have a Crockpot with a stovetop option. If you don’t, leave out the sauté and instead season the chicken with salt and pepper and load everything else in.
