How to Make Shredded BBQ Chicken

The BBQ method adds a unique taste to shredded chicken, so it will work better on pizza, as a sandwich filling, or on top of the salad. Unlike other simpler methods, this one is packed with the smoky flavours of paprika and the BBQ sauce.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds of boneless chicken
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 cups of BBQ sauce
  • 2 tsp of smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Make sure that the chicken is dry and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Use a heavy pot with a lid and heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Cook the onion and garlic until golden and soft, then add the smoked paprika and stir.
  • Add the chicken, one piece at a time, and mix well.
  • Pour in the BBQ sauce and let it simmer.
  • Cover the pot and put it in the oven. Bake for 90 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to another bowl and let it cool. Use 2 forks to shred the chicken.
  • Bring the rest of the sauce back on the stove and reduce it at high heat. Pour the rest on the chicken and let the meat absorb the thickened sauce.
