PULLED BBQ-CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Working in three batches, and adding remaining 1 tablespoon oil as necessary, sear chicken until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Drain all but 1 tablespoon oil from Dutch oven; reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add beer and barbecue sauce; stir until combined. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is very tender, about 1 hour. Turn off heat.
• Transfer chicken to plate; let cool. When cool enough to handle, remove skins (and reserve, if crisping; see Cook's Note, below) and bones; discard bones. Shred chicken into large pieces with two forks.
• Bring sauce to a simmer and reduce until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. (You should have about 3 cups.) Mash garlic with a potato masher until broken down. Return shredded chicken to Dutch oven and heat through, or let cool to room temperature and refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days (gently reheat before serving). Serve on potato buns.

BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place chicken in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until chicken comes off the bone easily, about 3 hours. Make sauce while the chicken cooks.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, garlic, honey, steak sauce, lemon juice, and liquid smoke. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Set aside to allow flavors to mingle.
• When the chicken is done, remove all meat from the bones, and chop or shred into small pieces. Place in a pan with the sauce, and cook for about 15 minutes to let the flavor of the sauce soak into the chicken. Spoon barbequed chicken onto buns, and top with coleslaw if you like.

Steps:

• Remove the skin and pull the meat off the bones, then pull apart the chunks of meat discarding any hard over cooked parts.
• The meat should look like pulled pork.
• If you are not serving within 30 minutes, refrigerate.
• When ready to serve, put enough meat for one sandwich in a small microwave proof bowl.
• Make up one bowl for each sandwich you are making.
• Heat the meat in the microwave until it reaches serving temperature.
• Heating can be done before putting meat in the bowls if you are making more then a few sandwiches.
• Serve each person a bowl of meat and a bun.
• Each person can then pick their own favorite BBQ sauce or mix a (sand) witches brew of different sauces with their meat and then spoon onto their bun.

BBQ PULLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch, nonstick, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, to the hot oil and cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Cover the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and cover with foil; let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. The residual heat will bring the internal temperature to the recommended 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove and discard skin and bones. Use 2 forks to shred chicken.
• Serve warm with barbecue sauce.
