Notes
- Each serving is ~ 1 cup.
- Storing: Transfer the pulled BBQ chicken to an airtight container. Once it's fully cooled store in the fridge for up to four days or in the freezer for up to three months. Reheat in a skillet on the stove or in the microwave. You may want to add a bit of liquid if cooking on the stove to help it reheat.
- Shredding the Chicken: It's best to do this step while the chicken is still warm as the chicken shreds more easily.
- Cook on Low Heat: Slow cooking is best so it's preferable to cook the chicken for longer on low heat.
