Ingredients

Pulled Chicken

1.5 lb Chicken Breast
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325F. Prepare a baking dish with a large piece of foil paper. It should be enough to wrap chicken breast up.
Mix olive oil, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, paprika, and salt in a small bowl.
Brush the prepared sauce over the foil paper, and then arrange the chicken breast. Next, add the remaining sauce over the chicken. Coat it evenly.
Wrap foil paper so the chicken is fully covered. Press it down so the juice stays inside while baking.
Bake for 2hs. Then carefully open the foil paper and pull the chicken with a fork. In case the chicken is not tender enough, wrap it again and bake it for another half hour.
Serve warm with dinner rolls and your desired sauce and garnishes.

Notes

This pulled chicken is juicy and flavorful. Taste-wise, its BBQ flavor is subtle but provides smokiness and a bold, sweet tomato-garlic taste. It’s great for sandwiches or even salads.

Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. To warm it, use a skillet over medium heat, and add 1-2 tbsp of water to moisten it.
