Description

Liked pulled pork…but with chicken instead! Whole garlic cloves are the icing on the cake.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Cut Up Fryer Chicken
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 1 bottle (large) Barbecue Sauce
  • 1 whole Onion, Sliced
  • 8 whole Cloves Garlic (more To Taste)
  • Slaw:
  • ½ heads Cabbage, Sliced Thin
  • ½ heads Purple Cabbage, Sliced Thin
  • ½ cups Whole Milk
  • ½ cups Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 bunch Cilantro, Roughly Chopped

Preparation

SLAW

Combine shredded cabbage and sliced jalapenos in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix milk, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and cayenne. Pour over cabbage. Toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate two hours.

Before serving, toss in cilantro leaves.

CHICKEN

Heat canola oil in a heavy pot over medium high heat. Season chicken, then sear on all sides until skin is golden brown and some fat is rendered. Remove chicken from pot and pour off excess grease.

Add sliced onions and whole garlic cloves to pot and stir around to cook for 2 minutes. Pour in barbecue sauce, add chicken to the sauce, and place lid on the pot.

Place in a 300 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until chicken is falling off the bone.

Remove the whole garlic cloves from the pot and set it aside. Remove chicken from pot and allow to cool enough to handle. Using hands or two forks, remove the meat from the bones. Finely shred the chicken using your hands or two forks.

Carefully skim off the excess fat that has risen on top of the sauce. Return shredded chicken to the pot and stir into the sauce. Reheat so that it’s warm.

Spread butter on kaiser rolls and toast on the griddle.

To serve, place a good amount of chicken on the bottom half of the roll. Top with one or two garlic cloves, then a good helping of slaw. Top with the other half of the bun and dig in!

I was looking for a hot sandwich to serve at my daughter’s graduation party and decided to give this one a try. It was incredibly easy and was a huge hit! Everyone loved it and several people asked me for the recipe. I was hoping for leftovers so I could use it to make barbecue chicken pizza for dinner one night this week, but alas there were no leftovers! Will definitely make this again.

Delicious! Boyfriend loved it. Question – jalepenos are mentioned in the directions but not in the ingredient list. ??
